Relief and Rebuild As a global engineering firm, it is our responsibility to help create healthy and safe environments. When Hurricane Harvey, Irma and Maria struck, we created the Hurricane Relief and Rebuild fund to support our friends, family and employees in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. We’re extremely proud that through this fund—and the generosity of our employees, clients and partners—we raised over $20,000 for Feeding America to provide up to 200,000 meals for families in need.

SENSE Continues Community OutreachLast month, Syska employees went from baby-faced to bearded in support of City of Hope’s “NoShaver” November fundraiser for prostate cancer research. Team O’Sullivan—comprised of Chicago and Dallas—surpassed their $15,000 goal and contributed over $53,000 to City of Hope. In collaboration with other local AEC firms, the campaign raised $124,735.

In October, SENSE organized bingo events in New York and Charlotte and raised a combined $1,380 to support breast cancer research and awareness. The donations benefitted Breast Intentions and the Levine Cancer Institute: Project PINK.

In September, Syska Chicago spent an evening at the Greater Chicago Food Depositary, a network of 700 pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other programs across Cook Country. They helped repackage over 20,000 pounds of food, which contributed to the production of 17,259 meals.

Also in September, Syska Los Angeles volunteered with Habitat for Humanity to help build a four-house lot in Long Beach and eliminate substandard housing and homelessness.

Where Diversity Takes SHAPESHAPE—Syska Hennessy Advocating for Professional Equality—is a new initiative that promotes and fosters a diverse culture and strengthens our community so we can continue creating innovative environments together.
