Weathering the Storm: Design Firms are invited to a brainstorming session on sharing resources and cutting costs
May 5th at Bovis Lend Lease
During this period of economic turmoil, “sustainability” has taken on new meaning. Many in the design community are looking for ways to share information, pool resources, and cut costs. One new resource is Exchange Point, a website where design firms can post and search for temporary staffing, desk space, collaboration opportunities, and more. We would like to invite representatives of design firms to an open forum to further explore these and other ways to sustain and strengthen the green building community. Please RSVP here.
Co-sponsored by USGBC New York, AIA NY, ASHRAE New York Chapter, and The Architect’s Newspaper.
