Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. At SSOE, our story is shaped by many roots, and the heritage of our Hispanic colleagues is one of the strongest.

We honor the voices, customs, and contributions of our Hispanic team members. They are inseparable from who we are—and essential to the future we’re building together. #HispanicHeritageMonth #chooseSSOE

Toledo Collaboration Week proved one thing: hybrid doesn’t mean disconnected. While we stay engaged all year long, we’ve built in quarterly “Collaboration Weeks” to strengthen our permanently hybrid work model and reconnect with purpose. From LEGO building breaks and after-hours game nights to Employee Resource Group workshops and welcomed candor with leadership, we brought the food, fun, and face time. And employees brought what matters most: themselves. #chooseSSOE
Aging like fine wine. From humble beginnings to a global architecture and engineering firm, SSOE is proud to celebrate 77 years of imagining and creating the future for our clients, colleagues, and communities. Our teams across offices—from Toledo to Chihuahua—marked the occasion with sweet treats, shared memories, and a whole lot of pride in how far we’ve come. Whether it was cupcakes in León or sundaes in the Alcove, the celebration reflected the culture that’s carried us through nearly eight decades of innovation, collaboration, and impact. Here’s to the people who make SSOE what it is—and what’s next. We’re only getting better with age. #chooseSSOE
You’re in 2025; we’re in 2030.

Groundbreaking idea: make housing affordable. Trinity Central Flats reclaims an underutilized site across from Atlanta City Hall into 218 green, affordable homes with on-site job placement, arts, and wellness amenities. SSOE's design breaks ground this year, restoring opportunity and resilience to a community long overlooked. With Georgia’s largest solar harvesting for multifamily housing, advanced stormwater infrastructure, minority-owned retail, and pedestrian connectivity to three MARTA stations, it brings lasting value while activating a key civic corridor.
