Firm President, Beth Shapiro Kaufman, commented "When we decided to renovate our space, we wanted the result to be functional, energy efficient, and aesthetically pleasing. Our Firm Administrator and the design team were instrumental in ensuring that we met all of these goals."
USGBC® recognized the Firm's renovation in several categories, including efficient use of water, innovation in design, indoor environmental quality, and storage and collection of recyclables. John Riggleman, Firm Administrator, remarked "Our mission was not just creating a beautiful, functional, and professional space, but also a space that would have a positive impact on our attorneys and staff. We obviously succeeded in accomplishing that mission." The design team from Gensler facilitated the renovation project.
