DOB to launch junior architects program

Department of Buildings Commissioner Robert LiMandri will launch Junior Architects and Engineers, a new program to introduce elementary school students to the design and construction process in New York City. Under the program, DOB officials will visit five schools across the city to teach about the steps required to construct a building and the role DOB plays in facilitating safe development. The kickoff event will take place tomorrow at P.S. 31, the William T. Davis School, at 55 Layton Avenue in Staten Island, where more than 30 fifth graders will be in attendance. Following the class, students will create a drawing of their favorite building in Staten Island, and their illustrations will be displayed in the Staten Island borough office. Each student will receive a “Junior Architect” or “Junior Engineer” badge and a certificate for completing the program. TRD
