October 30, 2009 – After three accelerations, due to dozens of Bulletins, the MCM-Dragados Joint Venture (MDJV) has attained the TCO for Phase 1 of the North Terminal Improvements project. NTI is basically the “front door” of the North Terminal Development project. NTI features a new curbside which has been enhanced by increasing the width 4’ with a beautiful Rustic Terrazzo finish and a new Metal Panel Ceiling system with better illumination along with additional curbside ticket counters and LED signage. There are new Automatic Entrance doors to a new Epoxy Terrazzo covered circulation space which is well lit to the new ticket counters.

October 14th, 2009 – After a long procurement process, MCM was awarded the New Additions and Renovations for Miami Sr. High School. This architectural jewel, which right now is overpopulated and in desperate need of major repairs, will start getting its well deserved face lift in less than 30 days.
This project is very dear to MCM's heart, since it was the first home to many of the young Cuban immigrants that came to Miami in the 60's. Several of our employees attended and graduated from Miami Senior, and we have very close ties with the surrounding community and alumni association.
We are very proud of this project, and we consider it a privilege and an honor to be able to return this wonderful facility to its old glory days. Go Stingarees!
