We are thrilled to announce that earlier this month our project, the Stanley Manne Research Institute at Bronx High School of Science, was honored at the 2024 SARA NY Design Awards Gala. The project received the Design Award of Merit. The Stanley Manne Research Institute is a state-of-the-art new facility providing Bronx high school students the chance to conduct advanced experiments, preparing them for higher education or professional careers. Despite its modest size, the research center is a prominent addition to the school campus, complementing the main building and completing the student courtyard. It features a unique design with varying façade proportions and roof screening, giving it a distinct visual appeal from all sides. The building has three multidisciplinary labs, a walk-in cold room, tissue culture room, microscopy room, sterilization room, animal room, and a multi-purpose room for special events and specialized rooms. This building achieves 70% lower energy use than typical labs, and it is fully powered by renewable energy, aligning with NYC’s net-zero emissions goals by 2050. #SARANY #2024DesignAwards Jessica Soares Daniel Heuberger P Christian Bailey, AIA, SARA, LEED AP, Karin Hostettler Project Photography: Chris Cooper Event Photography: Carla Coria Photography

Last week, as part of Dattner Architects’ celebration of Pride Month, our Datt Queer Club hosted a panel to discuss empowering socially driven inclusive design as well as visibility/intentional invisibility in the workplace. The panelists shared their insight on visibility, justice, and equity in their work and making equity present and visible in the AEC profession through the lens of the LGBTQIA community. Thank you to our panelists A.L. Hu, Mark Bearak, Keith Engel AIA (Dattner Architects), and our moderator Troy Lacombe (Dattner Architects). "Visibility, justice, and equity not only can manifest in the work we do as design leaders and denizens of social sustainability and equity, but in the quality of community and work that comes with bringing your most authentic self to work. Dattner Architects' most recent poll shows that 18% of the team identifies as openly LGBTQIA+ which is a testament to the supportive and inclusive environment we foster and design. It's our core mission to continually empower conversations and design tools around inclusivity to further grow and improve the built environment for all." - Datt Queer Club

Live large by living small? Microunits offer one way to address housing affordability in urban cores, when designed with care. I wrote about 10 micro-housing examples that stand out for innovative design and construction methods, ample shared amenities, well-planned interiors, energy-saving strategies, and sheer style. https://lnkd.in/dvZEKa7Q Sibley Fleming Brett Widness Hunter Gee, FAIA Kathleen Musick Dattner Architects Kirsten Sibilia Nakhshab Development & Design Soheil Nakhshab GSMA architecture Stephanie Pedigo, AIA, LEED AP WCIT Architecture Emma Redor Pivot - A Turning Point for Youth Elizabeth McLeckie Breathe Tamara Veltre Alex Abarbanel-Grossman The Office of Charles F.
