  In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re highlighting four female pioneers of the architecture, engineering and construction industry in the United States. As we continue to shape sustainable spaces at Skanska, the women in our industry are accomplishing incredible work that positively impact the built environment, set forth by these women who changed history. Norma Merrick Sklarek (1926 – 2012) was the first Black woman licensed to practice architecture in New York and California. Her notable projects include the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles and the LAX Terminal 1 renovation. Marion Mahony Griffin (1871 – 1961) was an American architect and the first licensed female architect in Illinois. She graduated from MIT as the second woman to receive an architecture degree. Later in her career, she was an architect and technical illustrator for Frank Lloyd Wright, and she was known for her work with Prairie Style architecture. Lillian Gilbreth (1878 – 1972) was a psychologist, industrial engineer, consultant, and educator who is known for her work in the field of human factors engineering—an applied field of study that examines human abilities, limitations, behaviors, and processes in order to inform human-centered designs. She was the first woman elected to the National Academy of Engineering. Emily Warren Roebling (1843 – 1903) was an American civil engineer who is best known for her role in overseeing the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge—the world's first and longest steel-wire suspension bridge at the time—after her husband, the chief engineer, became ill. Thank you to the women at Skanska who are continuing to shape the way people live, work, and connect. Happy Women's History Month. #ShapingOurFuture #WomensHistoryMonth #Skanska #WomenInConstruction #AEC

  Thank you to our Houston team! #SHEbuildsHouston is a career exploration event designed to introduce young women to the many career opportunities the construction industry offers. Our Houston team participated, along with other AEC companies and Katy Independent School District to put hand tools, power tools, and other building materials into the hands of 1,700 young women in 7th & 8th grade so they can experience what it takes to work in construction in a fun and safe environment. #ShapingOurFuture #Houston #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInConstruction #Texas #AEC #Construction #Development | Construction Career Collaborative | Sarah Maller | Janelle Johnson

  Den blir 160 meter lång, 12 meter bred och 4 meter djup. Det handlar så klart om nya Slussen, som dessutom får unika slussluckor som roterar ner i botten i stället för ut åt sidorna.💧 #slussen #projektslussen Stockholms stad
