Ruddock of AKRF discusses role as project manager

In my role as project manager and planner at AKRF, I have had the privilege of working on the environmental reviews of some of the city's most transformative projects—from those that have changed the skyline, such as the Bank of America tower at One Bryant Park, the Hearst Tower, and the Goldman Sachs building in Battery Park City, to those that are resulting in the development of entirely new neighborhoods, such as the Hunters Point South project in Long Island City, Queens. Most recently, I worked on the EIS for the Cornell NYC Tech project, a new engineering and applied sciences campus to be constructed on Roosevelt Island that promises to be a stimulus for the City's economy, integrating academics and industry and spurring entrepreneurship. I approach each project with the same goal: to manage the environmental review process, ensuring timely approval, allowing the project to be moved toward completion with minimal interruption to my clients.
