We are pleased to introduce and welcome Barton Associates’ interns Elizabeth Duffy, Nicole Esselstyn, Isabelle Willison, Roman Rennebeck, Chloe Cipar, Reagan Warenda, Lauren Heisler, and Logan Kresge to the team!
“We are excited to announce the hiring of Elizabeth, Nicole, Isabelle, Roman, Chloe, Reagan, Lauren, and Logan for internships with Barton Associates this spring and summer. Having met some of them at Penn State University’s Architectural Engineering Career Fair this past fall, they all demonstrated having the necessary background and knowledge to jump right into our everyday projects from start to finish, assisting our staff in field surveys, project designs, construction administration, and more. We look forward to this group joining us for their internship to see where they can take us now…and in the future!” said Larry R. Zdinak Jr., Director of Operations, Pittsburgh.
