VIP Architectural Associates has announced their collaboration with Snow Kreilich Architects of Minneapolis, Minnesota on the new design of the façade at the Post Standard Building.

Snow Kreilich Architects is a nationally recognized and award-winning architectural firm that recently received the highest honor bestowed by the American Institute of Architecture (AIA), the 2018 AIA Architecture Firm Award. The firm is led by design principals Julie V. Snow, FAIA and Matthew Kreilich, FAIA. Julie and Matt have a connection to the area as they were visiting professors at Syracuse University’s School of Architecture in 2011.

“VIP Architectural Associates has collaborated with national firms on high-profile projects in the past, including the redevelopment of the Dunk & Bright Warehouse, known today as the Nancy Cantor Warehouse. Our team is looking forward to collaborating with Snow Kreilich, as a world-renowned façade specialist, to bring a fresh eye to this project that is rich in history and a cornerstone of downtown Syracuse,” stated Dave Nutting, Chairman & CEO of VIP Structures.

VIP’s plans at the Post Standard Building will include their new corporate headquarters on the first floor facing Clinton Square. The second floor, roughly 50,000 SF, will be leased as additional office space. VIP is also planning a 3-story addition consisting of 25,000 SF of commercial leased space on the third floor, and residential units overlooking Clinton Square on floors 4-5.
