and the country to adjust to our new way of life.
On behalf of the New York City Post and the Gala Committee, thank you for being a

Turner Construction
COVID-19 New York Response
USACE Stony Brook University Alternative Care Facility
In conjunction with USACE, Turner led the design-build of a field hospital located on Stony
Brook University’s campus in Suffolk County, Long Island. The field hospital, which occupies
several acres, is comprised of five tents totaling 220,000 sq. ft. Completed within 21 days, the
expedited project added 1,028 beds to Stony Brook University Hospital’s capacity. Over 250
additional beds are designated for Covid patients.
The team created a rotating schedule with every team member’s health at the forefront.
Extensive MEPs were integrated to complete the free-standing tents, a total of 44 18,000 CFM
DX Air Handling Units with electric duct mounted heaters to provide heating and cooling to
the five tents; units are located outside the perimeter of each tent. The electrical distribution
system is served from generators as the normal source of power. Each tent is served from a
2,000 kW generator with an additional offline 2,000 kW generator to allow for maintenance and
possible interruption of service. Three 5,000 gallon domestic water reserve tanks supply water
to a triplex domestic water booster pump which feeds a new sprinkler distribution main. Central
electric domestic hot water storage heaters are provided for each tent. A fourth 15,000 gallon
fire reserve tank feeds the wet sprinkler system. Because utility connection was not available,
mobile water delivery trucks will fill the four 15,000 gallon storage tanks. In conjunction with
FEMA, New York State, Army National Guard, the design team, trade partners and Stony Brook,
the team implemented a lean approach to complete the job on time to service the healthcare
needs of New York State.
Turner Construction Company, incorporated in the State of New York, was established in 1902
by Henry C. Turner. With a staff of 5,800 personnel, Turner has shown remarkable growth over
the past 118 years. Turner New York has a professional staff of more than 1,080 and completes
more than $2.3 billion in annual construction volume. Turner has contributed to the construction
of many landmark projects in NYC including Madison Square Garden, Lincoln Center, and
Yankee Stadium.

Welcome to the New York City Post’s 80th Annual Scholarship Gala and the first virtual edition
of this time-honored tradition!
The New York City Post of the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) remains one
of the most prominent posts in the nation. Thank you for joining us as we award over 200
scholarships to students from 77 colleges and universities across the nation.
Tonight, we also pause to celebrate individuals and firms from our industry that have
significantly contributed to responding to the COVID-19 pandemic that is burdening our nation.
My congratulations and heartfelt thanks to all the award winners.
The Scholarship Gala serves as the centerpiece of an active Post schedule that includes
numerous other dinner meetings and technical sessions, many with other SAME posts or
industry societies. Our events provide valuable opportunities for professional development and
networking for public and private sector members and colleagues throughout the engineering,
architectural, and construction community.
In addition to tonight’s Gala, the West Point Branching Dinner slated for Spring 2021 is the
other marquee event. Here the New York City Post, in partnership with the Army Engineer
Association, welcomes members of the graduating class into service as U.S. Army Corps of

York City Post is doing its part to achieve the SAME vision to serve our nation as the foremost
integrator for leadership development and technical collaboration within the A/E/C profession.
To our 63 Sustaining Member firms and 513 individual members, a special note of thanks for
your continuing loyalty, and a personal message of gratitude to our Directors, Post Officers,
Special Advisors, and Committee Chairs for their commitment, enthusiasm, and time.
Without you and your financial support, the Scholarship Gala, and the many other great events

The New York City Post and the overall Society of American Military Engineers are both
celebrating our centennials. In addition, this is the 80th annual fundraising gala for the post,
which is a remarkable accomplishment and has set the standard across SAME for coming
together to help support the next generation of leaders for our profession. My sincerest
congratulations to the New York City Post and especially to the organizers of this storied event
for the impact you continue to have on our Society and our nation.
Since its inception in 1955, the New York City Post Scholarship Fund has provided more than $5
million in scholarships to nearly 6,000 engineering and architecture students. What an incredible
contribution to America’s future!
This Annual Gala champions the Scholarship Fund and enables the program to continue to make
a difference for youth in our profession. This year, 212 aspiring engineers and architects will be
recipients of scholarships thanks to the success and continuity of the Scholarship Fund. From
each of us across SAME, thanks for your vision and the tremendous impact your program has
had on our nation for more than half a century.
To this year’s scholarship recipients, congratulations! You join a long list of distinguished
engineers and architects who have been recipients of these scholarships in years past and who

The market value of your Scholarship Fund is $ 3,319,516. As in the past, the Fund owes a debt
of gratitude to the people who actively support its operations throughout the year.
Judy Cooper, NYU Tandon School of Engineering, serves as Vice President of the Fund. She
and her Student Relations Committee interact with 77 colleges, universities, and institutions
across the country to coordinate the selection of 212 students who will receive the scholarships
from among the many highly qualified candidates each year.
The Fund’s Board of Directors consists of Dominick Servedio, STV Group; Vinny Mangiere,
Jacobs; and Ed Schmeltz, EJS Consulting, LLC.
We also thank Eric Hirani of Infinite Consulting Corp., our Scholarship Fund Treasurer.
This year your scholarship fund is helping educate 212 young engineering, architecture, and
math and technology students throughout the nation.
This fund was started by Joe Markle, a distinguished New York construction attorney. Joe died
in 1989 when he was 89. Since that time, the fund has awarded scholarships to thousands of
students. Since Joe died, this has been done all by you, the members of the New York City
Post of SAME; so, my congratulations to all members of the Post.
This is your Scholarship Fund, raised without the cost of a single 2 cent stamp, and will continue
to grow and make a difference in New York, the Nation, and the world by providing educated
architectural, engineering, and construction leaders.
