Public Safety Answering Center II (PSAC II), a new facility located in the Bronx, enhances New York City’s 911 emergency response system and sets a high standard for sustainability. The 450,000-square-foot building brings together emergency response workers from multiple city agencies—the Police Department, the Fire Department, and Emergency Medical Services— serving as a model for inter-agency cooperation.

Cornell Tech Campus

Architecture - Public and Institutional

Cornell Tech is the first campus ever built for the digital age. The university's focus on innovation is seen in its design, a new type of urban campus that allows room to think, but is also integrated with the city. With expansive views, a series of green, public spaces, and a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor areas, the 12-acre campus is one of the most environmentally friendly and energy-efficient campuses in the world.
