Our IRA Calculator Finds Funding Opportunities for Healthcare Projects
Our IRA Calculator now calculates funding opportunities for healthcare projects! Our popular tool, developed with CMTA, helps our clients—including healthcare clients—understand funding opportunities in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) for sustainable design While the goals of the IRA are generally understood among people in the building industry, we’ve found they frequently don’t understand its details […]

Rolling, reaching, climbing, peeking...how do you get your green on? Having direct contact with nature, outdoors and indoors, boosts mental and physical wellbeing. In her paper, The Approachable Green, published in @nationalasla publication, The Field, GBBN`s Director of Research, Shan Jiang, cites research showing that visiting nature more than once a week is significantly associated with better health and higher quality of life. Do your 2025 resolutions include more biophilia in your spaces? #architecture #design #biophilia #research #nature #workplace #healthcare #highereducation #arts #mixeduse

We are also thrilled to have been recognized as an @aia_pa_epic firm for our diligence in nurturing the development of emerging professionals and young architects. While we`re on the subject of awards, our own Greg Coni was recognized as AIA PA`s Young Architect. So much good news popping around here!

A library can change a community.
The @pittsburghpg eloquently laid out the benefits of public libraries and their positive impact on small communities like the Allegheny Valley borough of Etna, Pennsylvania. We’re excited to be working with @eco15223 on transforming a 19th century former dry goods store into the new Etna Library and Center for Community. In the process we’re using energy-modeling to help the project perform efficiently. Its predicted Energy Use Intensity indicates that their building will use approximately 83% less energy than a similar building in a similar climate #architecture #design #libraries #adaptivereuse #librariesofinstagram #library #librarylife #sustainability #sustainabledesign

A season of celebrating… exploration
Two of our signature initiatives, our Design Expedition and our Design Issues Series (DIS) celebrate exploration…of cities, architecture, design, fabrication issues, research, and questions that just get our brains cranking. Case in point: This year our DIS initiative explored joy. What is it? How does it start? How does it spread? Today a crew in our Cincinnati office explored the joy of fiber, color, wood and resin through weaving. We found joy in experimenting with repurposed materials and making something by hand. And we experienced the joy of the collective, of inspiring each other and being inspired. It was pretty great! #architecture #design #making #joy

Our #pittsburgh office got into the seasonal spirit by participating in a Deck the Door Contest organized by @repforcepgh to decorate doors at Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh. GBBN`s pgh team worked together to brainstorm ideas around reusing materials in the office for the wreath, but Sara Chodkowski stepped up to bring the whole thing together beautifully. Using plastic utensils left over from lunch and learns throughout the year, the design blends sustainability with Spoon Theory--a metaphor often used to describe the finite energy levels people experience when they`re dealing with chronic illness or disabilities. We aim to give all the spoons we can to support families in need this holiday season. Great job @schod_0609! #architecture #design #art #craft #reuse #recycle #wreath #wreathmaking

Let`s slip into something more comfortable.
Beyond dress codes, workplaces are shifting away from formality.
@the_business_journals The Playbook has a story today about new survey results from American workers that show 63% of respondents favoring the shift toward less formality and 70% saying the decrease in formality has improved their productivity. Attracting and retaining top talent means supporting how and where employees choose to work throughout the day. Every generation ushers in a new lifestyle of work, but choice never goes out of style @uofcincy Digital Futures photographed by @feinknopf @thewarholmuseum POP District photographed by @edmassery @theschooloutfitters and @unitedwaygc photographed by @ryanckurtz #architecture #design #interiordesign #interiors #workplace #workplaces #office #offices #officedesign#creativeworkplace

Party of one? Your table is ready.
A quiet spot to focus is just the ticket for some tasks. Having places to touchdown and concentrate undisturbed for an hour-- to knock out a report or put the finishing touches on a presentation--helps support employees throughout the day. Also, who doesn`t love a booth? @unitedwaygc photographed by @ryanckurtz #architecture #design #workplace #workplacedesign #office #officedesign #interiordesign #interiors

You never forget a great show...or where you saw it.
Recent research analyzing social media comments suggests that, beyond the performance, theater architecture and design play an important role in a patron`s overall impression and experience. As theaters seek to reach new audiences and adjust to changing demographics, lifestyle habits, and purchase patterns, social media offers arts organizations unique perspectives into what patrons find vital about their theater experience. When @cincyshakes opened the new Otto M. Budig Theater, 95% of social media review photos were taken from the first floor lobby. Read more about this research at gbbn.com/research. We worked with a local fabricator on the rolled steel railings that add character to the concrete, glass, and exposed vents that give the lobby its raw yet refined vibe. Simple materials, creatively used, evoke the constant process of creation happening in this building.
