This event offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from the Architect of Record and the General Contractor about the entire building lifecycle—from the initial design vision to the intricate realities of completion. This tour is about understanding the collaboration required to deliver world-class acoustic performance and urban adaptability, all while connecting with a supportive community of queer and ally professionals.
