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. Rochester Institute of Technology’s Golisano Institute for Sustainability (GIS) received the Sustainable Building Award.
The nearly $36 million project consisted of an 84,000-square-foot four-story addition, complete with cutting-edge “green” technology. It houses sustainability research, technology transfer, education and outreach for the university and is a state-of-the-art showcase for green construction and design, as well as GIS master’s and Ph.D. programs in sustainability and architecture.
SWBR served as executive architect and architect of record on the project, with LeChase Construction Company as design-build team leader and FXFOWLE as design architect.
