PRESENTATION OVERVIEW:  The Design Assist project delivery method allows direct involvement with the steel subcontractor to assist designers in multiple aspects of design and construction.  It is important to recognize the structural steel fabricator's expertise on framing systems, design techniques, connection methods, cost estimating, interoperability, and overall project schedule can optimize the delivery of a building.  Attendees will learn how and when to best engage a steel fabricator through a presentation on a successful Design Assist project.

SPOTLIGHT PROJECT:
Wynn Casino, Everett, MA:
A 3.6M sq. ft. Casino & 22-story Hotel Design Project
Presented by:  
Adam C. McCarthy, PE - Principal, McNamara/Salvia  
Brent Shannon, PE - Sr. Project Manager, McNamara/Salvia

PRESENTATION OVERVIEW: One of the largest privately funded construction projects in New England is also one of the fastest to be constructed.  The Wynn Casino represents a complex design with many challenging aspects in the below grade garage, the post-tensioned Hotel and the long span convention center.   The project will have up to 4,000 construction workers on it at a time.


SPOTLIGHT PROJECT:
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston MA:
Renovation, Expansion, and a Roman Goddess from Brookline
Presented by:  
Peter Quigley, PE - Principal, Thornton Tomasetti
PRESENTATION OVERVIEW: Completed in 2010, the renovation/expansion of the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) Boston provides a dramatic glass and steel jewel box over the east courtyard as well as new exhibit and support areas.  The construction was challenged by tight site constraints and the need to maintain museum operations during construction. 
As one of a collection of unique projects for the MFA, a 6.5 Ton, 13-foot tall Marble Roman Goddess statue from Brookline was stabilized, caged, transported and installed in her new home at the MFA.
