Andrew Atkins

Andrew Atkins has 12 years of experience in the structural design of commercial buildings, including award-winning educational, historic preservation, healthcare projects, and corporate projects. His past work includes large replacement hospitals in high seismic zones, small additions, and retrofits of existing structures, as well as nonbuilding structures. Andrew is familiar with all structural systems, particularly reinforced concrete and composite steel framing.

Andrew attributes his love of historic preservation to his time spent on the $300 million Restoration and Rehabilitation Project of the Minnesota State Capitol; a several-year effort that wrapped up in 2017. He loved the challenge and problem-solving that was required, working on such an iconic structure.
