SWBR was recognized at the 2019 NAIOP Upstate New York Chapter Awards of Excellence ceremony for Rochester Institute of Technology’s Magic Spell Studios.
The NAIOP awards celebrate the high-quality and innovative achievements of regional commercial real estate projects from the upstate New York area.
Recognized with the Best Community Development Award, MAGIC Spell Studios is RIT’s Center for Media, Arts, Games, Interaction and Creativity. SWBR designed the facility featuring cutting-edge technology to create and commercialize computer gaming, film and animation, graphic design and imaging sciences projects. The studio provides students a hands-on, high-tech environment from which they can launch their own companies in Rochester and is the first commercialization studio of its kind in the northeast.
