Murray Engineering consists of the following key personnel and a group of design professionals, which includes engineers, architectural consultants, CAD operators and code specialists, with diversified backgrounds and expertise.

James P. Quinn, PE, Senior Engineer

Mr. Quinn joined Murray Engineering in 1998 and continues to work on both modular and conventionally framed structures. Much of his work over the past several years has been focused on multiple-family housing and high end residential construction. He has participated in the design of numerous special buildings for the New York City School Construction Authority and has a great deal of experience with city agencies. Jim enjoys the challenges we face while designing cost-efficient solutions for many residential projects.

As a senior associate and project manager, James Quinn recently completed the design and construction of three new hospital buildings in Lake Charles, Louisiana. These buildings combined provide over 125,000 square feet of space and are the first to be constructed on a new 58-acre site.

Mr. Quinn started his professional career in September of 1994 at De Nardis Associates where he obtained a wide variety of experience as a design and project engineer for new construction and for renovations of existing buildings, most notably the Calvin Klein retail store on Madison Avenue.

Mr. Quinn was the project engineer in the renovation of a five story brick building in upper Manhattan. This involved the design of new floor framing and the removal of existing load bearing masonry walls. He performed extensive surveys and inspections of existing structural framing and overall building stability during the renovation. Mr. Quinn has enjoys high-end residential structures demanding much architectural coordination and design of special structural components.

Mr. Quinn has worked on combined-use buildings and was the project engineer for the construction of a new four story office building and laboratory facility in New Jersey. Also included in this project was a pedestrian bridge, which connects the new building to an existing building in the complex. The construction of this structure is now complete and the building is fully occupied.

Mr. Quinn was the project engineer for a new sixteen story residential and retail building on Broadway and Worth Street in Manhattan. The structure is complete at this time and is constructed with masonry load-bearing walls and precast concrete plank floor systems. To accommodate the new earthquake design requirements in New York City, sheer walls were designed in precast concrete and were set with the precast concrete floor deck. The 14 story residential portion of the building bears on steel transfer beams, which define parking and retail space on the lower levels.
