ProSpec, LLC Hosts “Design at its Core” 20th Anniversary Celebration

The design of the Jerome L. Greene Science Center at Columbia University’s Manhattanville campus in New York City was the focus of the 20th anniversary celebration of ProSpec, LLC, a New York distributor of tile and tile installation systems. Instead of just a party, Lou Giannini, founder, and Steve Siciliano, partner, rented out the Museum of the City of New York for the evening and invited architects, builders, contractors and project owners to enjoy “Design at its Core,” a study in depth of the design and construction of the Jerome L. Greene Science Center. The event also included several guest speakers.

Steve Jones, senior director of industry insights and research at Dodge Data & Analytics provided information on current and future New York City construction activity plus insight into emerging new technologies for project design. Jones’ insights pointed attendees to those areas with the greatest expected growth over the next several years. Finding new project opportunities to pursue, competition for those opportunities, concern over availability of talented and professional workers, and project financing were major concerns for the near future.
