STV
STV on April 20 announced it has relocated its Washington, D.C., office to the 10th floor at 1100 Vermont Ave. NW, “expanding its long-standing presence in the nation’s capital and positioning the firm to better support its infrastructure clients across the Mid-Atlantic.”
Serving clients across the District, Virginia and Maryland, STV’s Washington, D.C., team provides architecture, engineering, planning and program and construction management services for transportation, transit, buildings and community infrastructure projects. Working with federal, state and local agencies, as well as transit authorities and private clients, “the firm helps advance complex infrastructure programs that improve mobility, modernize critical infrastructure and support long-term regional growth,” STV noted.
“This move strengthens our ability to deliver complex infrastructure programs in one of the country’s most dynamic and demanding markets,” said Scott Lovell, PE, Vice President and Washington, D.C. and Virginia Area Manager at STV. “The new space supports deeper collaboration across disciplines as we help clients advance projects that are critical to the region’s mobility and economic development.”
Since 2024, the firm has opened or expanded offices in Virginia Beach, Charlotte, Raleigh, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Lake Mary, Dallas and New York City. These investments, STV says, “align with the firm’s strategic plan and reflect a continued focus on modernized workspaces that support collaboration, client engagement and integrated project delivery.”
Alstom
Alstom on April 20 announced that it would donate $50,000 to ASC to establish an endowed scholarship to support engineering technology students.
The investment, the mobility company says, is the latest chapter in a long-standing partnership between Alstom and the four-year SUNY school, which is located about 12 miles from Alstom’s rail manufacturing campus in Hornell, N.Y.
The scholarship fund will be available to juniors and seniors in the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Technology majors, “helping remove financial barriers so that the region’s students may follow their dreams and enter engineering and related fields.” Alstom’s donation will be distributed over five years, with the endowed scholarship existing in perpetuity.
“Alfred State has long been a source of exceptional engineering talent for Hornell,” said Sylvain Bouthière, Alstom Hornell’s Site Managing Director. “Their graduates bring curiosity, drive and a spirit of innovation that strengthens our teams and shapes the future of our site. This endowed scholarship reflects our commitment not only to expanding access to well-paying careers in advanced manufacturing, but also to empowering the next generation of thinkers and builders who will define the future of mobility.”
“As mass transit continues to grow across North America, Alstom has been investing in partnerships with colleges and universities in the region to ensure that we will have the talent we need to continue to grow and thrive,” said Dani Simons, Vice President for Public Affairs, Alstom Americas. “Alfred State is a great example of an institution with a clear mission to prepare students for exciting careers. We are thrilled to build on our long-standing partnership with them and support their efforts to give more students access to engineering degrees.”
“We are excited to continue our longstanding partnership with Alstom with this endowed scholarship,” said Alfred State President Dr. Steven Mauro. “The scholarships that will result from this endowment will support our engineering technology students as they near completion of their degrees and prepare to join the workforce. We look forward to future collaborations and strengthening the connection between our organizations, the region, and beyond.”
Alstom has had a long relationship with the college, from offering applied learning experiences across engineering, business and construction management programs, to hosting students on site for tours and demonstrations. In keeping with ASC’s reputation as an institution that creates a strong classroom-to-career pipeline, Alstom leaders also serve on college advisory boards “to ensure that academic programs remain aligned with evolving industry expectations,” the company noted.
From 2021 through early 2025, Alstom partnered with ASC to bring $1.4 million in federal workforce development funding to the area from the U.S. Department of Labor and the Appalachian Regional Commission. The grant supported a training program that took place on-site at Alstom.
Alstom’s Hornell campus consists of four manufacturing plants and constitutes the largest rail manufacturing facility in the U.S. Recent and ongoing projects include 28 high-speed trainsets for Amtrak, 130 streetcars for the Philadelphia-area transit system, and propulsion for 1,165 subway cars for New York City Transit. More than 520 people—including many Alfred State alumni—work there.
