A group of alumni are working on a project to redesign NYSID’s rooftop garden at the 70th street building, a project that began while they were students as part of the NYSID chapter of U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). On October 6, NYSID alumni Carolina Martins, Yujin Oh, and Emma Sawrey presented their design to a panel of mentors including Alexa Hampton, interior designer and NYSID trustee; Ethan Lu, director of NYSID’s MPS-S program; Michelle Newbery, president of The Mine; and David Sprouls, NYSID president. The designs will be realized in the spring with the assistance and support from the New York Committee of the Garden Club of America,  ATG Stores, and John Danzer.
