Congratulations to our Columbus office on their 5th Year Anniversary!


Our Columbus office continues to grow each year and expand its client base as the Columbus area becomes more aware of the talent and experience of this office. We have been fortunate to see more and more success each of the last five years -- and hope for many more to come!

Steven Schaefer Associates is in the media!


Check out the wonderful article in the December 4, 2011 Enquirer. Writer Jeff Wallner really captured the excitement we’ve felt working on signature projects such as the Xavier University Hoff Academic Quad and the overall appreciation for our success in continuing to grow the firm. Click here to read the entire article.

Mohawk WWII Memorial (Cincinnati, OH)

Steven Schaefer provided the structural analysis for the reconstruction of the Mohawk World War II monument on West McMicken Street which was created in 1945 and honors the 571 GIs who left this Cincinnati neighborhood to fight in the war. Every year we try and donate our time to good causes such as Habitat for Humanity and we’re glad to have had this opportunity to help with the refurbishing of important monument.

Steven Schaefer Associates, Inc. Expands Cincinnati Office with Hiring of Kathleen (Katt) A. Dickert, E.I.

 
We have added to our staff by hiring Katt Dickert as an engineering intern. Katt was a co-op at Steven Schaefer Associates while earning a Bachelor of Science in engineering from the University of Cincinnati. Katt has already seen a lot of success – as a member of Sigma Phi, a co-founder of Connect (an annual UC event for freshman women to meet notable women leaders on campus), and having graduated third in her class. She has been an active volunteer with Birthright for ten years and hopes to volunteer with St. Rita School for the Deaf after achieving her certificate in American Sign Language. Katt joins a growing number of women engineers at the firm and will obviously be a tremendous asset.
