Blackney Hayes just launched a new in-house engineering division, BHH Engineers, which promises to keep the firm's architects and contractors from coming to blows over such emotionally-laden construction issues as ceiling duct and plumbing installation. (Which is good for most, but bad for any compulsive gamblers who liked action on architect fights.) The mechanical engineer Mark Hershman will be heading up the division. "Basically, we're producing an integrated system that the contractors will have an easier time installing, because it'll be pre-engineered to fit the space," he tells us.
