GZA has been selected by The Trust for Governors Island to serve as an on-call owner’s representative and engineering consultant for construction, renovation, and maintenance projects.

The 172-acre Governors Island, located in New York Harbor just min­utes from Low­er Man­hat­tan and the Brook­lyn water­front by fer­ry, is a pop­u­lar and unique des­ti­na­tion with an award-win­ning park com­ple­ment­ed by dozens of his­toric build­ings, year-round edu­ca­tion­al and cul­tur­al facil­i­ties, a rich art and cul­ture pro­gram, and a 22-acre Nation­al Mon­u­ment man­aged by the Nation­al Park Service. The Trust is a non-profit created by the City of New York that is responsible for the planning, operations, and ongoing development of the island to realize its full potential for the inspiration and enjoyment of all New Yorkers.

GZA President and CEO Patrick Sheehan said: “Governors Island is a treasure not only for all New Yorkers, but for visitors from throughout our nation and world. GZA is honored to serve The Trust for Governors Island in its mission of rehabilitating and upgrading the island’s parks and facilities to make it a year-round, dynamic and accessible venue and ‘living laboratory’ for environmental, ecological, and climate studies.”
