Three Ways Pittsburgh Can Become an Incubator for Sustainable City Solutions
For sustainable and resilient design enthusiasts, Pittsburgh is an inspiring place to live. Fueled by Mayor Peduto and his team’s very real commitment to advancing Pittsburgh as a sustainable city for the future, there are positive developments all across the city.

Q+A: Cat Adams is Focused on Sustainable Paths Forward for Pittsburgh
Ever since Cat Adams first drove through the Fort Pitt tunnel to see Pittsburgh’s downtown core – full of buildings, bridges and bustle – she’s felt an unbreakable connection to the city. “I remember driving through the tunnel as part of my first visit to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU),” she recounts. “There’s something majestic about Pittsburgh’s skyline from that view.

I recently had the opportunity to moderate the Spring BIMForum conference (Conference Theme: BIM: What do Owners Want?). The conference hosted almost 500 industry leading architecture, engineering, construction and building owner professionals from across the country including two of our clients from The Ohio State University and University of California at San Diego who each had the opportunity to present. The conference provided a continued evolution from past BIMForum events including the Fall 2012 BIMForum which focused on BIM for Facilities Management. While only a very few owners were approaching the BIM for FM discussion at that time, the conversation has dramatically changed in 2017. As my co-moderator stated in...Remake Learning: Creating 21st Century Schools
