Meet the 2024 Sasaki Summer Interns
Sasaki welcomes seven new interns to the Boston office
Meet the 2025 Sasaki Summer Interns
Sasaki has annually facilitated a summer internship program for several decades to provide students and recent-graduates with meaningful experiences in interdisciplinary design.
The bees on our roof deck aren’t the only source of buzz at our Boston office as nine new Sasakians have joined us at 110 Chauncy St.
With over 1,500 applicants, our interns rose to the top of the pool by demonstrating extraordinary capabilities in architecture, civil engineering, planning and more. Since last week, each intern has been contributing quality work in one of Sasaki’s nine disciplines. Beyond diverse design experiences, each individual also brings a colorful thread of personality and life with them to the office.
Meet Sasaki’s 2025 summer interns below!
