Loss of Connectivity for Helene Survivors Adds to Disaster Woes

NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Human-I-T, a nonprofit dedicated to providing equitable access to technology for those affected by the digital divide, is offering internet solutions to communities impacted by Hurricane Helene in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

“Time like these are when we step up to ensure everyone has access to the connectivity they need ” CEO Gabe Middleton.

In the aftermath of this disaster, no one should have to worry about whether they can afford to stay connected. For survivors of Hurricane Helene, reliable internet access can mean the difference between life and death, finding help—or being left in the dark. That’s why Human-I-T has set up a dedicated fund to ensure that no one has to face this crisis alone. This fund will keep existing Human-I-T customers connected and cover the costs for others in need, so they can reach emergency services, reunite with loved ones, access medical care, and secure vital resources.

“Moments like these are when Human-I-T steps up to ensure that everyone has access to the tools and connectivity they need to stay connected,” said Human-I-T CEO Gabe Middleton. “Now, more than ever, people need to be able to reach loved ones, access vital information, and connect with social services to move forward in the wake of this devastating natural disaster. We’ve been here before—during the pandemic, when so many people were left isolated and in need of support, we made sure they were not alone. Today is no different. Our mission is to bring hope and a little light to those facing the darkest days after the devastation of Hurricane Helene.”

Human-I-T believes that access to technology and the internet are not just essential needs—they are human rights, especially in times of crisis. That’s why Human-I-T is providing vital connectivity solutions to families in need in Hurricane Helene’s aftermath. With reliable hotspots and devices, survivors can stay connected to critical resources, students can keep up with their education, and individuals in some cases, can continue working remotely offering a sense of normalcy in uncertain times.

Your support can be a lifeline—connecting families to the help they desperately need when every second counts. Interested recipients can find more information here. People interested in donating to Human-I-T’s Hurricane Helene Connectivity Fund can find more information here.

By

Woolpert’s footprint and global mission critical architecture expertise expand with the addition of Greenbox, a firm specializing in data center design, workplace interiors, commercial architecture, health and life sciences, and residential architecture.

DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Woolpert has acquired Greenbox Architecture, a Sydney, Australia-based, full-service architecture firm that specializes in providing interior and exterior design services for data centers and commercial, health care, and residential clients.

This move expands the global reach, advances the capabilities, and increases the bench strength of both firms. Woolpert—a full-service architecture, engineering, geospatial, and strategic consulting firm—has been a leader in data center design in the U.S. and the U.K. since 2022 when it acquired Sheehan Nagle Hartray Architects (SNHA).

Greenbox CEO Andrew Owens said that he wanted to join an organization that had an agile, entrepreneurial culture where Greenbox would have impact and a voice in shaping architecture strategy to advance the industry.

“By joining a tech-driven company like Woolpert, we will be able to accelerate growth in AI, optimization, 3D modeling, and other related technologies,” Owens said. “But also, we want to continue to have fun. We want our people to do work they love in an environment where they can thrive. We found that in Woolpert.”

Woolpert President Neil Churman said that cultural alignment was a key consideration in joining forces. Both Greenbox and Woolpert are certified by Great Place to Work and share an emphasis on staff satisfaction.

“From our first meeting with Andrew and the Greenbox team, it was clear that their values are aligned with ours,” Churman said. “Like Woolpert, they are focused on a balanced approach toward industry leadership, high performance, and creating an outstanding employee experience for their team.”

With the addition of Greenbox, Woolpert expands its architecture services in the Asia-Pacific. Woolpert began providing geospatial services in the region in 2021, after acquiring Australia-based AAM. Woolpert has offices in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney, as well as Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. The addition of the Greenbox team will expand Woolpert’s service offerings across the region.

Churman said the acquisition will further establish Woolpert as a global leader in data center design and geospatial solutions.

“Andrew and the Greenbox team have established themselves as the clear Asia-Pacific market leader in data center design and solidify our ability to deliver design and geospatial solutions on a truly global scale to the mission critical industry,” Churman said. “Data centers have become essential infrastructure supporting nearly all aspects of our daily lives, and we’re focused on better supporting our clients as they continue to expand globally.”
