Welcome to the summer issue of Connections! This has been an exciting and exceptionally busy year for our team at Syska. Over the past several months, we unveiled our new strategic vision, Elevate 2035, and introduced a refreshed brand identity that reflects where we’re headed and what we aspire to achieve in the years ahead.

You can read more about Elevate 2035 and the priorities shaping our future in this issue, as well as stories about our ACEC award-winning project at JFK Airport and our work at an airport on the opposite coast – LAX. If you’re more interested in space than the skies, then check out the story about lighting design for a planetarium at Southwestern College. And don’t miss the Q&A with Acacia Barnett of Hattie B. Black Women in Progress, the article about the dangers of deferred maintenance, and the overview of Swag-It Forward, an app developed by members of Syska’s marketing team. We are proud of what we’ve accomplished together and excited to share these milestones and insights with you. Thank you for taking the time to read this issue. We hope you enjoy it.
