Jay Gorman

Jay Gorman helped lead the construction and material procurement of the Grace Farms Foundation’s award-winning River building. As members of the Design for Freedom Working Group, he and Sciame’s president Joe Mizzi, also conducted a post-construction analysis of the building’s roof to reveal the global supply chain behind its materials. 

More recently, they worked with the Grace Farms Foundation’s Arts Initiative, led by Kenyon Adams, to realize the sculpture Temporal Shift by artist Alyson Shotz.

In joining the Design for Freedom movement, Gorman has learned that as a construction manager, his company can lead by example: “Once you know, it’s hard not to be concerned about the ethical implications and nature of every material we’re using and where it’s coming from.”
