need to bring that innovation to bear
on their project, no matter how large or
small it is, and what kind of challenges
we're presented with," says Stoelting.
However, innovation must be
tempered with experience, and this is
one element that sets Glotman•Simpson
apart from other �irms. "The fact is,
when we do innovate, it's done with the
background of 50 years of knowledge,"
says Glotman. Another key to the �irm's
success is their model of specializing in
structural engineering �irst and foremost.
"We know what we're good at," states
Glotman. "Some �irms provide an
average product across the board, and
Glotman•Simpson's contributions to
the new Vancouver convention centre–
the only convention centre in the world
with a
LeeD Platinum certification–
include developing a system of
multi-storey, deep-steel trusses to
support the living green roof that sits
above the ballroom and exhibition hall.
