The 爱游戏体育 celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month



At The 爱游戏体育, we are a proud company comprised of a diverse group of passionate individuals committed to performing our best every day. We aspire to be forward thinking leaders who acknowledge, celebrate, and appreciate our colleagues and business partners. This month, we are excited to welcome you to The 爱游戏体育鈥檚 celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 - October 15), a national observance of Latino history and culture that was established over 50 years ago. We invite you to reflect on the vital contributions that the Latino community has made to the success of The 爱游戏体育 and the progress of construction industry in general.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a celebration of the history, achievements, culture, and contributions of Americans who come from or whose ancestry extends from Mexico, Spain, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. With almost 40% of our workforce identifying as Hispanic or Latino, it is paramount that we acknowledge the differences of our colleagues and connect with their rich and diverse cultures. As the 鈥淓mployer of Choice鈥�, we recognize that the Latino community has continued to play a role in supporting this core value at The 爱游戏体育.

In the videos below, current employees reflect on their careers with The 爱游戏体育 and the significance of Hispanic Heritage Month, and the future impact of Latinos on the construction industry.
















We are also remembering the icons who have broken barriers and helped advance the architecture, engineering and construction industry, including trailblazers like Ruth Rivera Mar铆n, a prominent Mexican architect who served



Ruth Rivera Mar铆n was born in Mexico City on June 18,1927. Born to the prominent Mexican painter Diego Rivera and famous model/novelist Guadalupe Mar铆n Preciado would later spark Ruth鈥檚 interest in the world of arts, culture, and architecture. The Mexican architect was one of the first women to attend and graduate from the College of Engineering and Architecture (EISA) at the National Polytechnic Institute in 1950. Upon receiving her degree, she went on to teach at EISA in 1952 focusing her teachings on the theory of architecture and urban planning. Following her teaching career, she was later recognized and became head of the Department of Architecture of the National Institute of Fine Arts and served as president of the International Union of Women Architects. Along with her teaching career at EISA she later came to pursue many architectural projects. In collaboration with her father and architect Juan O鈥橤orman, Mar铆n completed one of her most recognized creations, the Anahuacalli Museum in Coyoac谩n, Mexico in 1957. Mar铆n was later participant to additional projects, including the collaboration with Pedro Ram铆rez V谩zquez in building of the National Medical Center and Museum of Modern Art. She also worked alongside Luis Barragan on the museum 鈥淓l Eco鈥� in Mexico City. Upon Ruth鈥檚 death in 1969, the Architecture Center at INBA was renamed in her honor.
