And the winner of the Pinnacle Award for Civic Betterment from the Building Owners and Managers (BOMA) of New York is...the Salvadori Center! In her acceptance speech at the February 6 ceremony in the Winter Garden at the World Financial Center, Salvadori Executive Director Lorraine Whitman thanked BOMA not only for the recognition, but also for “the privilege of meeting individuals of great professional attainment and social commitment, through BOMA’s consideration of us for the Pinnacle Award. We appreciate the time they invested in uncovering the work we do with the school children of New York City.” See us on the Winner’s Page at:

In concurrence with National Engineers Week (Feb 16-22), the Salvadori Center announces the establishment of The Henry Michel Global Classroom Fund. Honoring the memory of Henry Michel, who Executive Director Lorraine Whitman described as “Mr. International Engineering,” the fund will support the development of our Project Book, a two-volume suite of classroom materials that will enable teachers worldwide to teach built-environment project-based lessons. The second volume, Over, On and Under Our World, will be dedicated to Henry Michel. This announcement was recently featured in the February newsletter of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
