designLAB architects, an ArchiCAD firm from Boston just keeps hitting home runs. Their first ArchiCAD project, the world headquarters for the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) just won an AIA Cote award for Top Ten Green Projects. From the AIA article on the project ArchiCAD played a strong role in the projects success:
"Using the latest BIM technology helped to accelerate the schedule and ensure accuracy with early estimates."

More importantly they were able to achieve LEED Gold status after further analysis of the project, working as a team with the owners and contractor, showed that a few additional efforts would get the project to that level.
Congrats to Robert Miklos and his team-awesome project for an organization that supports a great cause!
