M+NLB Engineer Receives “New Face of Engineering” Award
Feb 22, 2012
Engineering design and consulting firm Mazzetti Nash Lipsey Burch (M+NLB) announced today that Amy Jarvis, PE, LEED® AP BD+C, is a recipient of the 2012 New Faces of Engineering award given each year during National Engineers Week, which is held each February. The recognition program honors engineers aged 30 or younger that have shown outstanding abilities on projects that significantly impact public welfare or further professional development and growth. Each winner is nominated by various national engineering groups; Jarvis was nominated for her award by ASHRAE, a building technology society with 50,000 members worldwide.
“Amy has made a significant impact on our firm, on client projects, and in her community since she began her career as an engineer,” said Bob Gulick, Principal at M+NLB in Portland. “It has been a privilege to work with someone with so much energy, a strong commitment to sustainability and so many good ideas.”
Since joining M+NLB in 2008, Jarvis has demonstrated her commitment to sustainable design and building systems by serving as one of three lead authors on a chapter for the upcoming World Health Organization publication “Healthcare in the Green Economy,” as a contributing author to the LEED® for Healthcare Reference Guide, and lead M+NLB’s award-winning internal sustainability effort, earning the company’s Portland office the city’s first “Climate Champion Award” and earning similar awards and certifications for offices in San Francisco, Houston, Nashville and Denver. She has also secured over $1 million in energy incentive funding for client projects, helping fund innovation in energy efficiency and renewable energy in M+NLB projects across the country.
We're so pleased that Amy is representing ASHRAE in the New Faces program," Matt Rowe, Young Engineers in ASHRAE Committee Chair, said. “Her work in the healthcare sector serves as the perfect example of what young engineers can accomplish through ingenuity and determination. Amy, as well as the other New Faces are the future of the industry.”
Jarvis graduated with High Distinction from Harvey Mudd College, in Claremont, California with a B.S. in Engineering and a Humanities concentration in Spanish. A graduate of Portland’s Lincoln High School, Jarvis spent four summers while at college participating in Intel’s Honors Internship Program in Hillsboro, Oregon.
