Steve Marino, manager, technical services, Vitro Architectural Glass, and committee member for the National Glass Association, received the Construction Specifier’s Article of the Year Award for 2020.
The Construction Specifier Article of the Year Award is presented annually to the author of an original article published in the magazine during its most recent fiscal year. Individual articles are nominated by The Construction Specifier magazine editorial staff and judged by the magazine’s editorial advisory board.
This year, The Construction Specifier chose to honor Marino’s article “Breaking it Down: Keys to Diagnosing Glass Breakage in Buildings” from its July 2019 issue. The piece offers extensive information about glass breakage and explains techniques that enable building stakeholders to conduct “postmortems” on glass breaks to identify their most likely source of origin.
