SUMMARY:Design-Build in Action: Project Tour of the Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center (July 31\, 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Join DBIA’s NYC Metro Chapter and the NYC Department of Design & Construction\, and Consigli Construction Co.\, Inc. for an exclusive site tour of the new Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center\, a public recreational facility redefining sustainable and inclusive community design in Central Brooklyn. Nestled within Nostrand Playground\, this high-performance building features an all-electric mechanical system\, a mass timber structure optimized for humid environments\, and a vibrant mix of athletic\, educational and cultural spaces. With a focus on achieving LEED-NC Gold certification\, the center exemplifies how public architecture can support health\, equity\, and environmental goals. \nAs one of DDC’s Design-Build Pilot Projects\, this tour provides insight into the benefits of integrated project delivery. Members will explore how the Design-Build approach enabled greater collaboration\, faster timelines\, and flexibility during ongoing design development. The tour will also examine how community-centered design strategies shaped both the building’s programming and architecture — from the wraparound green roof to active spaces that reflect neighborhood needs. This is a unique opportunity to learn from project leaders about delivering this important civic project for East Flatbush. \nRegistration closes July 18.\nRegister Now \nPlease note this event is for DBIA members only\, limited to 45 people walking the jobsite (first in\, first served).
