    > July 2007 Progress Report THE CITY OF NEW YORK DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE > July 2007 Progress Report THE CITY OF NEW YORK DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE INTRODUCTION Design + Construction Excellence project locations DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE JULY 2007 PROGRESS REPORT July 2007 Dear Friends: From the grand entrances of our public libraries to the great INTRODUCTION green expanse of our parkland and open spaces, no city is more defined by its urban design than New York. Three years ago, the Art Commission called for a multi-agency effort to change the paradigm of the public building process, and build the landmarks of tomorrow. Today, I am pleased to report that, under the leadership of the Department of Design and Construction, the Design + Construction Excellence (D+CE) initiative has seen its most successful year yet. Since our last report, the initiative has continued to elevate design and construction standards and helped to produce thoughtful, creative projects in every borough. The new Office of Emergency Management headquarters in Brooklyn and the Queens Botanical Garden have achieved top level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification and stand as vivid examples of what we can accomplish with bold thinking, and a commitment to meeting the biggest challenges of our time. Adopting the spirit of PlaNYC—our vision for a greener, greater New York—the D+CE will continue to ensure that our metropolis remains habitable and hospitable as it continues to grow and evolve. Thank you to everyone involved in the initiative for the support and contributions that remain critical to our success. You continue to help us build a better future for all New Yorkers—the future we all deserve.
