Scudder Falls Bridge Improvements to Begin

Preparation work has begun for the Scudder Falls Bridge construction project slated to begin in 2017. The bridge connects Bucks Co, PA & Mercer Co, NJ. A bottleneck during commute hours on I-95, the span (built in 1959) was recently deemed “functionally obsolete” and is long due for upgrades. Commuters and businesses in both Mercer County and Bucks County will benefit from the work done on the Scudder Falls.  Read more about the project on nj.com.

The Sustainable Office: A peek into the modern changing office

We were very happy to attend the Princeton Chamber of Commerce’s “The New Way of Work” event put together by the Real Estate Business Alliance yesterday morning.

The panel discussion, along with breakfast & networking, was held at the Springdale Golf Club in downtown Princeton.

Featured speakers included Brian Marrs (Manager, Policy & Strategic Sustainability) & Bill Walsh (Director of Corporate Facilities) at NRG Energy and our friend Marlyn Zucosky (Partner & Director of Interior Design) at Joshua Zinder Architecture + Design.

Mr. Marrs & Mr. Walsh excitedly shared a sneak peak of what NRG’s new Princeton building, located on Route 1 in Carnegie Center, will include. The 130,000 sf building will serve as NRG’s new headquarters and is a mix of sustainable design elements for the sake of the environment and also experiments of NRG initiatives. Learn more about all of the features of the project on NRG’s website, here.

Ms. Zucosky discussed trends they are currently seeing in office space design: layouts that allow for more natural light into the center of the floor plan, open work spaces, huddle areas, game room and other elements to attract Millennials to companies. Mr. Walsh commented that many of the trends JZA+D has been noticing are in fact being employed within the new NRG building. Check out some of JZA+D’s projects here.
