Announcing ENR's New Mobile-Responsive Website

Website gets a new platform and new look as New York City staff moves to iconic address.

There were two big moves this week for Engineering News-Record. We moved our New York City headquarters to the 60th floor of the Empire State Building, and we moved our website, ENR.com, to the mobile responsive platform of BNP Media, our new publisher.

ENR.com has come a long way since its launch in the mid-1990s. Back then, the site provided only basic information about the magazine through an amazing new medium—the World Wide Web. Today, the website offers breaking news, stand-alone stories, video coverage, 10 regional sections, an archive of all the print issues and an interactive Twitter feed (@ENRnews).

ENR.com’s new appearance is cleaner and simpler than before. The technology underlying the simplicity allows the site to know when a reader is accessing it from a mobile phone, a tablet or a computer, then the web pages reconfigure to display the content in the most accessible way for that particular device. If you don’t see one of your favorite pages, use the improved search engine to look for it. We welcome all your comments, and we’re eager to hear what you think.

Back in the physical world, everyone in our Empire State Building office will have a new telephone number. These phone numbers will be under the “Contact Us” tab on the website. You also can reach us through the main number, 646-849-7100, during business hours.

After serving as editor-in-chief for 20 years, Jan Tuchman now is executive editor, leading content development for Engineering News-Record's wide-ranging series of live and virtual events. These include the Groundbreaking Women in Construction, the Emerging Leaders Forum, FutureTech and infrastructure forums in the New York/New Jersey region and Los Angeles. Tuchman is the 2023-24 chair of the American Society of Civil Engineers Industry Leaders Council, she is a member of the Columbia University Center for Infrastructure, Facilities and Public Spaces, and she is active in The Moles, a heavy construction leadership organization. Her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in journalism are from the University of Colorado in Boulder. Industry honors include the Ted C. Kennedy Award from the National Academy of Construction and the service and supply award from the Beavers. She lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and enjoys singing in the Brooklyn Community Chorus.

60% of workers are exposed to heights greater than 5 ft daily, and workers' compensation from injury is more than $7B - it's time for construction leaders to take measures to reduce risk and create a safer work environment. We'll explore how technology can improve construction site safety and help prevent accidents before they happen.
