3.0 University Place demonstrates Community Commitment and being a good neighbor in collaboration with Paul Robeson High School for Cafeteria Renovation!
When UPA began developing the "Platinum Corridor" and 3.0 University Place, they made a focused commitment to serve as a steward and good neighbor to the community. 🏙️🤝🏘️ And so, in partnership with UPA and TSP, MDSA was pleased to work together with Paul Robeson High School and renovate their student cafeteria, located directly across the street from our 3.0 University Place project.👷♀️🏫👷Equipped with new floors, ceiling tiles, and bright new furniture, we gathered with political leaders, students, community advocates, and the 3.0 University Place site team to cut the ribbon in celebration of this powerful community partnership. Paul Robeson HS was slated to close in 2013, but under Principal Richard Gordon’s leadership, PRHS remained open and was later recognized in 2017 as Most Improved High School in Philadelphia. Gordon is nationally recognized for his educational leadership as 3-time PA Principal of the Year among several other well-deserved, high-profile accolades. He is passionately dedicated to his students and was eager to partner with us on this cafe redesign...in fact, even included the students in the design process with TSP Architects. The community circle on this renovation was tight-knit from start to finish and we hope a collaboration like this continues to inspire others in University City of what is possible. This is what a community in construction development can truly look like when private & public partnerships come together. 🤝❤️🤝

McDonald Building Company holds Stand-Down for Safety at 400 W. Elm jobsite for Mental Health
This past week McDonald Building Company held a Stand-Down for Safety at the 400 West Elm jobsite in Conshohocken, PA. 👷♀️🦺👷♂️ Industry-wide, the month of May is recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month. MBC invited Rob Labbe, Jr., CSP from American Global to talk with the teams onsite and raise awareness on suicide prevention and overall mental health. According to the CDC, the Construction Industry has the 2nd highest rate for suicides of all US industries. By raising awareness, providing the proper resources, and starting an open conversation for those who need it most - we all can make a difference in helping a colleague who may be struggling. MBC would like to thank Rob at American Global and all who took the time to attend this very relevant and important Safety Stand-Down that heavily affects the construction industry. 🤝⛑🤝 #standdown4safety #safetyaboveallelse #buildingontrust #spreadtheknowledge #safetyeveryday #mbccares #togetherforMH
