Great conversations and even better insights at the NYC School Construction Authority (SCA) Design Excellence & Networking Forum.

Our team was proud to have Landry Philémy, P.E., Director of Construction, and Mel Garber CSEng, F.ASCE, FIStructE, FSLIE, NOMA, Director of Building, in attendance—hearing directly from Jean-Claude Brizard, President & CEO of Digital Promise, on the powerful intersection of pedagogy and the built environment.

A special full‑circle moment for Mel: the forum was hosted at Frank Sinatra High School for the Arts, a project he worked on 18 years ago, making the experience all the more memorable!

Thoughtful design, innovation, and collaboration continue to shape learning environments that truly support students and educators.
