New City NY -
Michael Shilale AIA, LEED, founding partner of
Michael Shilale Architects, LLP (MSA) - a thriving
New City architectural engineering firm – has been
selected by The New York State Society of
Professional Engineers’ (NYSSPE) Nominating
Committee, as the recipient of their 2011 NYSSPE
Citizen of the Year Award.
“I am honored and humbled to be selected as the
'Citizen of the Year' by the New York State Society
of Professional Engineers. My favorite architect,
Santiago Calatrava, is both an architect and an
engineer, so I’ve pursued projects (and engineering
partners) that work with an eye on both. That’s
because our economic and environmental challenges
require both great architecture and great
engineering,” says Michael Shilale, a frequent
keynote speaker at various engineering, design and
planning societies.
Joseph Caruso, a Professional Engineer with Maser
Consulting P.A. – a full service consulting
engineering firm with over 250 employees,
headquartered in Red Bank, NJ – is responsible for
nominating Mr. Shilale. Caruso has worked with
Shilale on a number of projects for many years. He
has seen first-hand Shilale’s “Green Building
Technology” expertise grow. “Michael is committed to
protecting and preserving the environment with his
design work. As VP of the Rockland County Chapter of
NYSSPE, I was proud to nominate him as ‘Citizen of
the Year’ - and gratified that he was recognized.”
Shilale will receive his award at the Installation
and Awards Banquet the evening of June 10, at the
Woodcliff Hotel & Spa in Fairport, NY.
With a focus on best practices and LEED-accredited
design, Shilale’s firm is responsible for hundreds
of innovative buildings in NY, NJ and in FL. Notable
green projects include United Water’s first water
desalination plant on the Hudson River, the award
winning Kathleen Lukens Living Center for Camp
Venture in Sparkill, and the Tendler Center in New
Hempstead for Jawonio.
