San Francisco to Oakland, California
Constructed 1933-1936
Ever since the Gold Rush days of the 1850s, San Francisco Bay area residents and businesses had lobbied for a bridge joining San Francisco and Oakland. Early studies indicated that the bridge was impractical and infeasible; but in October 1929, President Herbert Hoover (himself an engineer) and California Governor C. C. Young appointed the Hoover-Young San Francisco Bay Bridge Commission to study the question more closely. The Commission concluded not only that the bridge was necessary to the development of the area, but that it was "entirely feasible from economic and construction viewpoints."
Local residents marveled as the Bay Bridge went up in two colossal segments, linking Yerba Buena Island to the two shores. The bridge officially opened on November 12, 1936, with a four-day celebration of one of the most remarkable engineering feats of its time.

After mixing, pouring, reinforcing and rising early each morning to water their concrete cylinder experiments for the past week, 55 students from Hudson Bend Middle School traveled to a University of Texas at Austin civil engineering laboratory to destroy their work.

The old road bridge was destoyed by the floods of November 2009. Now at last the new bridge is nearing completion: the final span was being carefully slotted in to place when we were there, Thursday 3rd May 2012.
Trenholm State Community College is currently in the process of architecturally re-branding their Patterson Campus. Trenholm State Community College’s Automotive Collision Repair Program was moved from the Trenholm Campus to the Patterson Campus, and in doing so, will utilize an existing 18,727sf metal building/warehouse which was conducive for the collision repair area. Additional square footage was added to the building to encompass two classrooms, a resource room, offices, tool storage, and a paint shop. The paint shop consists of two new pre-fabricated paint booths, mixing station, and prep area A new façade was developed to enhance the overall appearance of the building. This building is the first of many to feature the new architectural style.
Trenholm State Community College’s Administration and Financial Aid Building project included a new metal retrofit roof and the renovation of an existing building that houses administration offices, financial aid and other student amenities as part of there “Student Success” center to allow for additional classrooms. The existing spaces were updated with new finishes and associated energy efficient mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. A new entrance and sitework were designed to give a good first impression to students and administrators entering campus.
Trenholm State Community College purchased state of the art prefabricated welding booths for their welding program. However, the buildings electrical system could not accommodate the loads for the booths. Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood was hired to prepare the architecture and engineering drawings to allow the program to use their new welding stations.
Building B & Building D were renovations that include interior and exterior work, re-roofing, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, site work, exterior lighting, new streets, repairs and alterations to existing streets and parking lots, landscaping, and sidewalks.
