Amenities include expanded meeting spaces, a fitness center and a bikeshare program, all designed to foster a dynamic, connected work environment.

“As we grow our presence in California, this new office marks an exciting chapter for our team and strengthens our ability to deliver critical infrastructure projects for the region,” says Rashmi Menon, vice president and general manager in California for Burns & McDonnell. “We look forward to expanding our partnerships and building the infrastructure that propels our communities into the future.”
