    EDUCATION | K-12 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SERVICES AUSTIN DALLAS FORT WORTH HOUSTON www.age-se.com 214.520.7202 Education | K-12 Portfolio Kathlyn Joy Gilliam Collegiate Academy Dallas Independent School District Kathlyn Joy Gilliam Collegiate Academy is an early college high school tailored to prepare primarily first generation college students for academic success. Along with SHW Group, our firm designed the 110,000-square-foot facility as a series of academic and social spaces centered around a common area to give the facility the feel of a multiple-building campus, similar to a college, while keeping the students in a secure environment. Faculty offices are located in a “perch,” a large, cubic space suspended on the second floor, from which faculty can view the various academic spaces. Upperclassmen are housed on the first floor, allowing for more freedom and unstructured time, while the lower grade levels are on the second floor for a more structured, controlled environment in closer proximity to teachers. Multiple spaces for informal learning are incorporated throughout the building. Prosper High School New High School and Indoor Practice Facility Prosper Independent School District Prosper High School is the modern American High School - Texas style. This project is a $113.5 million, 590,000-square-foot behemoth, complete with a medical tech lab, a restaurant-worthy kitchen, a greenhouse, a broadcast studio, and an indoor football practice facility. Working under tight deadlines, our team completed the new high school along with a new sports arena, indoor practice space, and natatorium.

  • Coca-Cola La Historia Negra De Las Aguas Negras
    Coca-Cola La historia negra de las aguas negras Gustavo Castro Soto CIEPAC COCA-COLA LA HISTORIA NEGRA DE LAS AGUAS NEGRAS (Primera Parte) La Compañía Coca-Cola y algunos de sus directivos, desde tiempo atrás, han sido acusados de estar involucrados en evasión de impuestos, fraudes, asesinatos, torturas, amenazas y chantajes a trabajadores, sindicalistas, gobiernos y empresas. Se les ha acusado también de aliarse incluso con ejércitos y grupos paramilitares en Sudamérica. Amnistía Internacional y otras organizaciones de Derechos Humanos a nivel mundial han seguido de cerca estos casos. Desde hace más de 100 años la Compañía Coca-Cola incide sobre la realidad de los campesinos e indígenas cañeros ya sea comprando o dejando de comprar azúcar de caña con el fin de sustituir el dulce por alta fructuosa proveniente del maíz transgénico de los Estados Unidos. Sí, los refrescos de la marca Coca-Cola son transgénicos así como cualquier industria que usa alta fructuosa. ¿Se ha fijado usted en los ingredientes que se especifican en los empaques de los productos industrializados? La Coca-Cola también ha incidido en la vida de los productores de coca; es responsable también de la falta de agua en algunos lugares o de los cambios en las políticas públicas para privatizar el vital líquido o quedarse con los mantos freáticos. Incide en la economía de muchos países; en la industria del vidrio y del plástico y en otros componentes de su fórmula. Además de la economía y la política, ha incidido directamente en trastocar las culturas, desde Chamula en Chiapas hasta Japón o China, pasando por Rusia.
