2023 Women in Construction: Jennifer Luu, Alan Margolin & Associates (AMAA)

How can AEC companies recruit more women? One of the best methods to recruit more women into AEC companies is by exposing students and postgraduates to the industry using strong brand awareness efforts. Hosting events and panels at universities, as well as attending career fairs, are great first steps in focusing in on female recruitment. AEC companies can also advertise themselves as supporters of women in this industry and promote female-specific benefits such as extended maternity leave and new mother rooms. 

What is your favorite building in New York? Definitely 420 Lexington Ave. The décor, location, and views are unparalleled. Upon entering the building, you’re immediately greeted with a beautiful arched high-ceiling lobby. During the holidays, the lobby receives a seasonal décor refresh that makes the space feel special. The elevators resemble that of The Great Gatsby and there’s an amazing view of the city from our office, which is in the building right above Grand Central, and is very convenient with the newly accessible LIRR, Subway, and Metro-North. The lower-level dining court makes lunch trips hassle-free. This is an A+ building.
