Not your average lunch and learn

Today the New York office had the unique opportunity to learn about a subject that is a little off the beaten path of our usual lunch-time seminars. In an architectural office you are likely to have representatives speak to you about the latest advancements in spray-on fireproofing or sustainable glazing sources, but I was quite surprised when I received this invitation…

HOK’s own Joe Nocella – registered architect, firm-wide BIM leader, and custom bike shop proprietor – built a bicycle wheel right in front of us!  In addition, he gave us a brief history of the bicycle and how their wheels have evolved. Really interesting stuff!

Be sure to visit Joe’s website for 718 Cyclery at www.718c.com. They have rapidly become one of the highest rated custom shops in the NY metro area!
