Each day this past week, we have taken a few moments to express the gratitude we have for our clients and teaming partners along with highlighting some of our achievements. Today, it is only befitting for us to extend the same measure of appreciation, if not more so, for every member of the McMullan team.
Whereas 2020 presented us all with unique challenges, 2021 brought forward aspects of resiliency and adaptability that have inspired and left us in awe as owners. We are extremely fortunate to have colleagues who continually bring forward a tremendous level of positivity and commitment coupled with ingenuity and creativity to make each project, engagement, and fellow colleague all the better for the experience of such.
Together, we smile through adversity. We laugh. We learn, share insights, and even sample the cuisines of our heritages and cultures. We remain focused and determined. Most importantly, we collectively help one another keep family, friends, and our own well-being first and foremost. No one at McMullan is alone, and we remain here for one another, however and whenever needed.
All that is quite a bounty of blessings for which we remain honored and give our many thanks for each of you. We wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving, including those you hold near and dear,
McMullan Principals Colleen Nasta, PE and Doug Bond, PE, SE

This next “We are thankful… ” series showcase celebrates the ribbon cutting ceremony held in June to mark the official opening of Valley Health’s Warren Memorial Hospital. On the morning of June 8, Valley Health and community leaders gathered to dedicate the nonprofit health system’s new $100-million Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal. The replacement facility fully opened for service on June 23.
In a press release issued in advance of the ceremony, Valley Health stated that the three-story hospital with adjoining medical building commands a 28-acre developed campus on a slope with stunning views of the Shenandoah Valley, offering a refreshing patient-centered environment for wellness and healing.
“This is an exciting day for Valley Health, but, more importantly, for residents of the Front Royal-Warren County area,” said Valley Health President and CEO Mark Nantz. “I commend the Valley Health Board of Trustees for their commitment to invest in this site and this remarkable, technologically-advanced facility, and I thank all who have supported our efforts to reach this point. We look forward to many more years of serving our community by improving health from this inspiring location.”
Over the course of nearly 30 months, McMullan provided structural engineering services in collaboration with Perkins+Will who led the full design team. Howard Shockey & Sons Construction was the general contractor.

Earlier this year, McMullan, with our joint venture partner that is now formally known as Sorba Engineering, was awarded one of the National Park Service Nationwide IDIQs A/E General Engineering, Small Business Pool.

Projects may include, but are not limited to planning, development of design and construction plans, construction specifications and construction cost estimates, operation and maintenance plans, and construction observation, as well as research, evaluation, analysis, strategic planning, inventory and monitoring, compliance and permitting (including environmental, construction, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) - Section 106) for various real property/historic assets and sites under the purview of National Park Service.
Prior to award of this contract, McMullan had served as the structural engineering subconsultant on 12 National Park Service IDIQs (multiple regions) through which more than 85 separate task orders had been awarded/completed. In addition, McMullan had been awarded 11 standalone projects under direct contract with National Park Service.
It is worth noting that our additional government agency clients include, but are not limited to: GSA (multiple regions and nationwide); USDA-U.S. Forest Service, Southern Region; USDA National Arboretum; NIST; Smithsonian Institution; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; NAVFAC Washington; Augusta Canal Authority in Georgia; Montgomery County Department of Parks; M-NCPPC; Fauquier County Parks & Recreation Department; Loudoun County Parks, Recreation & Community Services; Loudoun County DOT; Arlington County Parks & Recreation; City of Lockport; Borough of Wharton; New York State – OPRHP; and Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority.

Continuing our “We are thankful… ” series, we are excited to share that Earth Day 2021 marked the occasion of when McMullan officially joined the SE 2050 Commitment in response to the SE 2050 Challenge which states: “All structural engineers shall understand, reduce and ultimately eliminate embodied carbon in their projects by 2050.”
Since the early days of our firm and driven by Founding Principal Denis McMullan’s personal commitment, McMullan has always sought to provide structural engineering solutions that utilize the maximum use of recovered and in-place structural materials.
Our diverse and extensive experience includes facility designs that make maximum use of recovered structural materials with high regional material content. Furthermore, our specifications for concrete, steel, and masonry are tailored to require use of high recycled content material and give preference to wood products made from forests certified by an FSC-accredited certification body.
Today, most McMullan projects are compliant with LEED guidelines for certification as well as prevailing green building design and construction codes, including those for new buildings, alterations/additions, renovations, rehabilitations, deteriorated concrete structure repairs, and adaptive reuses of structures.
Our commitment to SE 2050 extends to all client markets we serve. This includes federal to municipal agencies, public K-12 school systems, independent schools, institutions of higher learning, hospitals and healthcare systems, private and commercial developers/building owners, historic societies, nonprofits, and more. Plus, McMullan has spearheaded structural engineering designs for net zero energy buildings, such as DPR Construction’s Mid-Atlantic Headquarters shown above.
