Spagnolo Gisness & Associates, Inc. (SG&A) is opening an office in New York, capitalizing on 23 years of experience working with clients and providing quality architectural services. The New York office includes a business development team led by Adam Spagnolo, the son of founding partner Al Spagnolo, and supported by staff splitting their time between the Boston and New York offices. "SG&A's success balancing creativity and collaboration with fast-paced delivery in Boston and beyond has given us the opportunity to expand and bring our client-centered approach into the dynamic New York market" said Al Spagnolo, founding partner of SG&A. "We look forward to capitalizing on the strong relationships we have created with developers, contractors and engineers and building new partnerships in the largest commercial market in the U.S.." Founded in 1991 by Al Spagnolo, Bill Gisness and Jeff Tompkins, SG&A is composed of 50 architects, interior designers, environmental graphic designers, project managers and support staff. Its notable recent projects in the Boston and Cambridge markets include Biogen Idec World headquarters at 225 Binney St., Cambridge; the Edgerton Performing Arts Center, Sacred Heart University; the Kostas Research Institute for Homeland Security, Northeastern University; the Flanagan Campus Center, Wentworth Institute of Technology; LogMeIn; Communispace; EnerNOC; and PUMA. New York's proximity to Boston, and SG&A's experience in southwestern Connecticut, makes this new market an important target in SG&A's expansion. In New York, SG&A will continue its commitment to promoting excellence in design from ground-up projects to corporate interiors and building repositioning and providing measurable value to their clients.
