The editors of Building Design+Construction are looking to feature a roundup of office building projects for 2024. Projects must have been completed in the last 18 months. We are also accepting office-to-residential conversion projects completed in the last 18 months as well. There is NO COST for submitting your project!
The projects will be featured online at BDCnetwork.com later this year. Please follow the guidelines below for your submission. Deadline for submission: Friday, December 6, 2024.
Office Building Roundup Submission Steps
Here’s what we need—please send as a Word document, direct email text, or PDF:
1. PROVIDE PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Give us a brief description of the project. Include the project name, location, and square-footage. List Developer or Owner, key AEC firms involved (architect, MEP engineer, structure/civil engineer, landscape architect, general contractor, important specialty subcontractors—e.g., sustainability consultant, etc.).
Please include relevant URL's (e.g., project page on architect's website). If possible, please provide hyperlinks to each firms' website as well.
Projects must have been completed in the last 18 months or so (please give approximate construction completion date). Also, projects currently "in design" or under construction are accepted (send renderings for these).
2. INCLUDE HIGH-RESOLUTION PHOTOS
High resolution, 300 dpi, with short CAPTIONS (25-50 words) describing what’s going on in the photo ("925-sq. ft. fitness center at Aloha Offices", "Quiet workspace at Aloha…") and PHOTO CREDITS. For projects "in the works," submit high-resolution renderings with CAPTIONS and RENDER CREDITS.
We suggest 6-10 photos/renderings, a mix of exteriors and interiors, horizontal and vertical (if available), especially interesting or unusual features, key amenities, important design elements, innovations, etc. Bonus points for photos with people in them!
IMPORTANT: Please do not send photos via Dropbox. We do not have a Dropbox account. Please use another mechanism (WeTransfer, OneDrive, etc.) or send photos in email batches up to 20MB.
Remember photo/rendering credits for all images. (Very important!)
3. TELL US WHAT MAKES THE PROJECT SPECIAL
Tell us why BD+C readers would be interested in the project. Does the project include specific sustainability features? Were there special design or construction aspects, innovations, or unusual obstacles the project team overcame, etc.?
Feel free to include one or two quotes from an AEC leader who worked on the project, as long as it adds to the understanding or impact of the project.
4. REVIEW SUBMISSION INFO
Please send all materials and any questions to Quinn Purcell, Managing Editor, at qpurcell@endeavorb2b.com. Include "Office Building Case Study 2024" in the subject line.
