2024 Women in Construction: Stasha Greenalch, BW Kennedy & Co.

What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months? For the last year, I have been working on a campus with four buildings, one building with active tenants. I was the project manager on two of the buildings which consisted of a complete gut, including abatement. One of the buildings was built out with a new lobby, loading dock & lift, PH pit, freight elevator & new penthouse to house the new MEP infrastructure to convert the building from office space to lab ready. The other building, a single story, was fit out for a tenant. This fit out included all new MEPs into the building as well as 32 fume hoods in their lab space, including a 16’ walk-in fume hood. 

What has been the driving force behind your success in the AEC industry? I would credit my success in the AEC industry to the knowledgeable and talented personnel at BW Kenndy as well as our subcontractors and clients. We have developed a network of people who are dedicated to creating a great quality project on time and in budget and are willing to help continue to pass their knowledge down to the next generation. 

Who or what inspired you to join the AEC industry? Both of my parents are engineers (civil & structural). As a child, it was always fascinating to me to drive by the buildings or intersections they designed and see the final product.
