We recently completed Design Development for a rooftop garden and playdeck in the West Village for St. Luke’s School. The project expands the school’s athletic offerings with a dedicated playcage for all students, enables outdoor learning experiences with a vertical garden and creates opportunities for experimentation with nature and the city in an outdoor classroom for students ranging from kindergarten through 8th grade.
As part of our national workplace contract with the GSA, we recently completed a feasibility study for the National Parks Service (NPS) that looked at possibilities surrounding the conversion of the historic Hoosac Stores warehouse at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston into a multi-use civic center to support the National Parks of Boston Visitor’s Center, administrative offices and USS Constitution Museum.

As part of Marble Fairbanks’ IDIQ workplace contract with the General Services Administration (GSA), Organization Director Jason Roberts spoke as a panelist on two different GSA-led virtual roundtables earlier this year: “The Future Workplace in a Post-COVID-19 World” and the “Future of Workplace Forum with GSA Industry Partners.” Attendees included GSA employees from agencies across the nation and fellow panelists included representatives from offices such as AECOM, SmithGroup, Jacobs, Perkins & Will, and Gensler. Discussions focused on how workplace will change in a post-COVID era; how organizations can help ensure their staff will work efficiently and safely when they return; and, what some of the best practices are when pursuing workplace change.
