In just 22 months, New York City delivered its first design-build project — during a global pandemic — and the impact is already being felt nationwide. In this episode of the Design-Build Delivers Podcast, we talk about the Queens Borough Hall Garage and Community Center, a state-of-the-art project that's now up for major awards, including DBIA Project/Team Awards. We also explore how NYC’s design-build successes are influencing other states and local governments.

Join host Erin Looney, along with Tom Foley and David Varoli from New York City’s Department of Design and Construction, and Richard Thomas from DBIA, as they break down the challenges and triumphs of NYC’s design-build journey — and what it means for the future of project delivery across the U.S.

And don’t miss the Bonus Content Episode, coming in a few weeks, with even more insights from this conversation.
