Join us in honoring #BlackHistoryMonth! Black History Month presents an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of African-Americans in the construction industry. That's why the Decoder is featuring five important Black historical figures every construction professional should know about. From groundbreaking inventions to innovative designs, there are a lot of contributions to highlight! 1. Robert Robinson Taylor Robert Robinson Taylor made history as the first accredited African-American architect. He was also the first Black student to enroll at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). 2. Norma Merrick Sklarek Norma Sklarek was the first Black woman to become a licensed architect in the states of New York and California, as well as the first to join the American Institute of Architecture (AIA). 3. Julian Abele Acclaimed architect Julian Abele contributed to the design of over 400 buildings, including Harvard University’s Widener Memorial Library and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. 4. David Crosthwait Jr. Crosthwait’s innovative HVAC inventions transformed heating systems in larger buildings. He is most known for designing the heating system for the Radio City Music Hall in NYC. 5. Hattie Scott Peterson A trailblazer for water resources engineering, Peterson is the first African-American woman to hold an engineering degree, and to serve as a civil engineer for the US Army Corps of Engineers.

There is not much we love more than our community and education! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ In addition to our work with the NYC SCA, higher education facilities, and private education, we have had the honor to collaborate on schools like the East Harlem Scholars Academy High School (Created by the East Harlem Tutorial Program). This new, 6-story high school includes 25 classrooms, an art and music room, and fully equipped science labs. To maximize accessibility, the classroom design accommodates sound and light sensitivities, featuring acoustically absorbing walls and prominent natural light. The building has also taken significant precautions against flooding, including an elevated lobby and blue roof for easier stormwater drainage. About the East Harlem Tutorial Program and its impact from ehtp.org: "What started more than 60 years ago as a reading group in the living room of a community leader has grown into a multi-dimensional educational program that includes five charter schools, after-school programming and college prep. East Harlem Scholars Academies are committed to providing youth in the neighborhood with the academic excellence and supports needed to thrive. East Harlem Tutorial Program is committed to serving 25 percent of East Harlem children by 2025, and East Harlem Scholars Academies are contributing more and more to that goal. Our two elementary schools, two middle schools and high school serve almost 1,400 students from Pre-K through 12th grade. Our high school Scholars will also benefit from the success of our renowned after-school and summer programs, which are available to students as they develop their college plans." 📐 Architect: Ennead Architects 👷 Engineer: AKRF 📸 Photo/Rendering: https://www.ehtp.org/ We hope that all of our clients, collaborators, and friends have a wonderful weekend! #OutsourceConsultants #Education #NYC

🏢 📏 ⏰ Mark your calendars! A major building code change arrives in NYC this December, and your current and future projects may be affected. "Currently, only major buildings are subject to NYC’s site safety requirements, but soon this category will include buildings constructed without site safety in mind. This will introduce a variety of new hurdles for smaller contractors, who may be unfamiliar with the complicated process of obtaining approvals for site safety plans and tenant protection plans." For more information about the upcoming changes, check out our in-depth breakdown at Decoder, the go-to news source for all things building code and zoning. #Decoder #DecoderNY #OutsourceConsultants #News #DOB #NYC #NYCbuildings #NewYorkCity #Permits #Violations #BuildingCode #Zoning
