ACE and Beyond

Since the inception of our firm, our leaders have been committed to attracting future engineers to the profession. Charlie Thornton was the prime mover behind the founding of the ACE Mentor Program and is chairman emeritus of the Salvadori Center in New York, organizations dedicated to educating young people about the design professions. Our younger engineers are encouraged to participate in these organizations – many serve as ACE mentors and some as members of ACE chapter boards, opportunities that give them a well-rounded exposure to the industry and enhance their understanding of engineering’s importance to the community. Newer engineers participate annually in the national CANstruction project, which tests their engineering talents and teamwork while providing food for those in need. Our design professionals are also active in various U.S. chapters of Engineers Without Boarders.

Photography Exhibitions

For the past three years, we have held an annual exhibition of photographs of the built environment, taken by Thornton Tomasetti people from across the firm. Thanks to our judges – Nancy Ney, a photographer; Marc Gross, AIA, LEED AP, an architect; and Julia Rivera, an art historian and sculptor – for selecting the 40 photos to be exhibited from the 88 submitted.
