Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA) announced that Juliette Peyroux, PE, SE, has been named one of Building Design + Construction (BD+C) magazine's 40 Under 40 honorees for 2021. A Senior Associate at MKA, Peyroux, 32, focuses on promoting structural solutions for seismically safe and resilient airport terminals, concourses, and inspection stations in areas known for high seismic activity, such as San Diego, San Francisco, and Seattle.

She acquired the advanced training necessary to become a WAsafe Program Certified Instructor and State Coordinator—an achievement that allows her to teach building safety evaluation classes to her co-workers at MKA, her industry colleagues, and Seattle-area university students who represent the next generation of engineering professionals. Peyroux leads MKA's in-house Earthquake Technical Specialist Team in its efforts to research the latest developments in earthquake engineering, develop training and tools to improve the design process, and facilitate office-wide dissemination of the latest information and trends surrounding earthquake engineering. She has also co-written in-house seismic hazard and ground motion guides that are essential reference tools for her structural engineering colleagues.

Peyroux earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Washington and a Master of Science degree in Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. She serves on the Structural Engineers Association of Washington Earthquake Engineering and Disaster Preparedness & Response Committees.

BD+C magazine editors selected 40 Architecture, Engineering, and Construction professionals from around the world to comprise this year's list of honorees. Successful and well-rounded individuals under the age of 40 are chosen based on criteria such as leadership, community outreach, sustained career progress, personal integrity, inventiveness, academic training, and other qualities and characteristics.
