Zena Marchant

Zena Marchant has always been interested in environmental issues and how they impact people and businesses. When she was hired by LaGuardia Gateway Partners in 2016, she knew it was a perfect match for her skills set and experience. The company puts a priority on ensuring that the new LaGuardia airport terminal uses sustainable construction practices in order to conserve energy and help the overall environment. The project has received LEED v4 Gold status, the first airport terminal in the world to receive such recognition. Nearly all new construction materials are made from recycled debris from previous construction projects. The design reduces expected water usage by an impressive 43% and lowers energy consumption by 18%.
