  1. 1981

    Hyatt Regency walkway collapse involving predecessor-firm principals

    Robert Berkebile and Thompson Nelson were members of a joint venture associated with the design of the Hyatt Regency Crown Center before the BNIM name was established. The 1981 walkway collapse caused deaths and injuries. The investigation determined that the failure was attributable to the structural engineer. The event concerns predecessor-firm involvement and should not be characterized as a collapse of a BNIM-designed project under the later BNIM organization.
