NAWIC Walk with the Dinosaurs
2021-07-27 17:30 - 19:30 | Rood Hall, 2101 Wilbur Ave, Kalamazoo, 49006
There are things you’d expect to see on a college campus: students sprawled out studying, bicycles parked in racks, frisbees being tossed about. But a brontosaurus towering over the entrance to a building? Western Michigan University is taking a walk into uncharted territory with a park straight out of the Mesozoic era that will expand educational opportunities for students of all ages.A dinosaur park, dreamed up by the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences, is drawing enthusiasts to campus from across the area. It turns back the clock 252 million years, allowing visitors to walk among titans of the Triassic, juggernauts of the Jurassic and creatures of the Cretaceous.Located behind Lee Honors College, on the northeast side of Rood Hall, the park currently features favorites like stegosaurus, triceratops, parasaurolophus, spinosaurus and a pair of utahraptors, as well as ferns that existed during the time they walked the earth. It will soon have a new resident: a 17-foot-tall brontosaurus, which is in storage right now waiting to be erected at the entrance to Rood Hall.While it’s already generating excitement, the park is far from finished. The COVID-19 pandemic temporarily put expansion plans on hold, but work is now underway to ramp development back up. The vision for the park is to create an interdisciplinary learning area that is as fun for kids as it is educational for Western students.In addition to adding dinosaur tracks and a rock bed, plans are also in the works to add a rock wall in a stairwell on the side of Rood Hall where students could see different rock layers over time. A wetlands area will be added to the center of the park where environmental science classes could conduct experiments. There’s even potential to include some physics lessons in the landscape to measure the impact of meteorite strikes.Dinosaur Park Hours: The outdoor rocks and dinosaurs welcome visitors at any time. We will be meeting just outside Rood Hall at 5:30 pm.Location: The Dinosaur Park is located outside adjacent to Rood and the Lee Honors CollegeParking: The parking lot near Rood Hall (2101 Wilbur Ave, Kalamazoo, MI 49006) is only for permitted vehicles. The nearest metered parking is located near Sindecuse Health Center (lot 40), the Bernhard Center (lots 68 and 69), and Sangren Hall (lot 41). For parking information, please visit WMUs Parking services page.Cost: Free!Please RSVP to Tara Nisenson either by email mailto:taranisenson@gmail.com or via text at 269-762-0796.

Tour: The Milton - Preserving the Image of Battle Creek
2020-02-19 17:30 - 20:30 | The Milton, 25 W Michigan Ave, Battle Creek, MI, 49017
More information is coming soon about this active construction tour – February 19!

Formerly known as The Heritage Building in recent years, The Milton is a 19-story mixed-use redevelopment project in downtown Battle Creek. The Milton luxury apartments are combined with retail and business space. Constructed in 1931 as the Old Merchants National Bank, the building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the last projects designed by Chicago architectural firm Weary and Alford.
Our own NAWIC member, Kate Shields, a project estimator with glazing contractor Blackberry Systems in Kalamazoo, worked on the project. She says, “The Milton has been one of our most comprehensive restoration and replication projects that we have undertaken in the past 30 years. The 90-year-old project required us to not only restore historic metals, decorative skylights, and the original historic storefront, but the steel windows also had to be completely replaced due to the poor condition they were in. The original steel windows had a unique design of a two-lite casement over a lower fixed transom with narrow stile sightlines, posing a challenge to replicate.”

2018 Michigan Infrastructure Report
2018-11-14 17:30 - 19:30 | MI
5:30 -5:45: Networking
5:45-6:00: Chapter Officer Installation
6:00 – 6:30: Presentation by Myndi Bacon, ASCE MI Section Past President and NAWIC member
Register on Eventbrite
Link to the report HERE
Summary of Presentation:
Infrastructure includes fundamental facilities and systems necessary for Michigan’s economy to function. Roads, bridges, schools, water and sewer systems, dams, railways, and energy systems are categories of infrastructure that directly affect our ability to live, work and play. Quality infrastructure allows Michigan to be a front-runner in research & development, manufacturing, farming, and tourism. Our transportation system gets people to work every day or up north for weekends. Water systems deliver clean drinking water to our homes, communities, and businesses. School buildings provide a safe place for our children to learn. Stormwater and wastewater treatment systems protect our neighborhoods from floods, and our lakes, rivers, and beaches from contamination.
Today, Michigan’s infrastructure is old and outdated. Michigan’s economic downturn resulted in underinvestment in maintenance and repairs. We’re now faced with pothole-ridden roads, bridges propped with temporary supports, sinkholes destroying homes and closed beaches. The 21st Century Infrastructure Commission determined an additional $4 billion annually is needed to maintain our infrastructure. Michigan must support innovative policies leading to cleaner water, smoother highways, and a safe environment that will attract business and improve our quality of life.
The 2018 ASCE Michigan Report Card is a simple tool used to help residents, businesses, and policymakers understand the state of Michigan’s infrastructure. This information helps start the conversation about how to improve our poor infrastructure.
ABOUT
Established in 1916, the American Society of Civil Engineers Michigan Section is one of the largest and most active Sections maintaining over 2,500 members. There are 6 active Branches in Michigan including the Northwest, Western, Saginaw Valley, Southwest, Lansing/Jackson, and Southeast. Civil Engineers in Michigan are encouraged to join ASCE to develop leadership skills, enhance their knowledge of the latest technology and engineering practices, and to network with other civil engineering professionals.

Tour: Robert M. Beam Power Plant | WMU
2018-04-25 17:30 - 19:30
At the time the 1925 era power plant transferred to Western Michigan University, it was a 100 percent coal-fired facility with 40 to 50-year-old boilers that had become unreliable and environmentally non-compliant. Many of us drive past the unmarked, gated entrance off Stadium Drive, but few realize the building behind there provides power for all of WMU campus and more.
Its current use is an efficient co-generation power distribution providing steam heat, electricity and cooling production for the campus of Western Michigan University. As complex as the plant is, it is only staffed by 17 people year-round, with some being certified welders and electricians. The plant also offers a unique on-the-job training program for trades people.
Speaker and tour: Matt Cronkhite
Gather: 5:30pm – must use gated entrance off Stadium Drive
We will have dinner first, then have the tour at 6:30
To pay $10 for dinner by credit card, use add to cart button below:

Let’s all show up and have FUN!
