Justin Sampson

Standout Skills: Structural Analysis and Seismic Design; Stadium and Arena Design, Building Additions/Renovations, Seismic Retrofit

“I’m from Charleston, S.C., so I like to design for heavy earthquake loads. Seeing how a building behaves under different stresses and conditions – and how we can counter that — is something I really get into. Even if we don’t design to these extremes every day.
”

Sykes Insight: Refined Design

“We’re known for the refined quality of our engineering. We might start with a conservative design and then find ways to trim it down, to expand clear views or refine support systems in ways that are sound but super-streamlined and elegant.”

Hidden Talent: Master of the Spoken Word, Basketball, Art, and Poetry

“I wrote and performed poetry for live audiences in grad school. Now I put that energy into humor sometimes – just to take the seriousness out of a situation and keep things light.”
