Local dignitaries and Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental Engineering and Energy Systems (CoE) members who have helped make the federation's headquarters a reality wrote messages of support and luck on the last beam required to complete the building's frame during a ceremony in July. The HQ will be a showcase of green building and design and an incubator for innovations in clean and renewable energy, indoor environmental quality and water resources. It will also boost Syracuse's economy, attracting scientists and others from around the world looking to conduct research and demonstration experiments in the building's unique laboratories. Air Innovations is a Silver Patron and founding member of the CoE.
