SWBR is pleased to announce it was recognized by the 2019 Jeffrey J. Zogg Build New York Awards for its design of Rochester Institute of Technology’s MAGIC Spell Studios at a virtual award ceremony held on October 20. The Association of General Contractors NYS awards highlight the positive impact of the construction industry in New York State involving building and heavy/highway construction.
Recognized in the New Construction category, 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 with 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.
