Metropolis Announces 2025 Planet Positive Awards Jurors, Including VG CEO Drew Shula
Verdical Group Founder & CEO Drew Shula was invited to join the judging panel for Metropolis Magazine’s Planet Positive Awards, reviewing projects in the Innovations category.
This is Shula’s fourth year as a juror for the Awards, which recognize the highest achievements in design addressing sustainability and equity. Project entries will be judged on how effectively they mitigate environmental impact, advance social equity, tackle complex challenges with creativity, and integrate beauty, function, and community value.
Fellow judges in the category include Melissa Berardi (Project Management Director; CBRE) and José Manuel Castillo (Chair of the Department of Architecture, Professor; Cornell University).
