It’s been a year since we made the decision to dedicate our newsletter to addressing industry and MEP design questions, concerns and considerations brought to light during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, we went with the title “COVID-19 Design Impact Series” because series itself was open-ended.
Honestly, we didn’t know how long we’d be talking about it.
But as we geared up for this edition, and looked around, we were struck by two things. First and most joyfully, the world seems to be returning to some semblance of normalcy. As a society, we’ve weathered the worst of the storm, and are enjoying getting back to…life.
That being said, we will never truly be finished with the A/E/C impact created by this pandemic. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. While challenging, the changes and growth we as professionals, our company as a whole, and the global industry adopted were transformational. Circumstance forced everyone to pivot (as the marketing folks like to say), and we’re excited by the new direction before us.
We’re ready to turn the page and close the book on this special series of Plains Talk. But first, we want to say a few final words about lessons learned, and share some insight on what the future might hold. Scroll on for a few high-level observations from our firm as a whole, and perhaps more importantly, personal perspectives and thoughts directly from our team members.
