Structural engineer Nancy Hamilton, 60, known for leading and coordinating extremely complicated jobs—including JFK’s Terminal 4 and LGA’s Central Terminal Redevelopment phasing—died Oct. 24 from a gastrointestinal tumor.
“Nancy was a remarkable engineer who was determined and focused,” says David Scott, structural director at Laing O’Rourke. Scott was Hamilton’s colleague at multidisciplinary engineer Arup. “She was not drawn to structural gymnastics,” but rather to solving puzzles through integrated solutions, adds Scott. That led her to form Be Integrated in 2015. She was chairman, president and CEO.
