The Building Owners and Managers Association of Greater Rochester BOMA Recognition Awards recognize companies with a strong commitment to ethical business practices in everyday operations and in response to crises and challenges.
The Collegetown Rochester project received the 2015 BOMA Rochester Recognition Award in the new-construction category. SWBR was responsible for assisting DCS (Davis Carter Scott), the design architect and the architects of record, through the design phase taking the lead on neighborhood and city meetings and was contracted to do all the Construction Administration for buildings 3, 6 and 4. In addition to this, SWBR’s Structural and Landscape departments were retained for design through construction administration for all buildings except the hotel.
The design included the rebuilding of the intersection of Mt. Hope and Elmwood, and the firm worked with area businesses and the University of Rochester to develop the area and make it shopper-friendly.
