Episode 101: Myrrh Caplan

Sep 19

Written By Lindsay Baker

Myrrh Caplan is Senior VP for Sustainability at Skanska and leads the construction company’s national sustainability team.
Since joining Skanska as a Project Manager in 2005, Myrrh has helped shape Skanska’s national approach to sustainable building. She established the company’s first national Green Construction program and chaired Skanska’s first National Green Council.

We heard from Myrrh about her passion for weaving a positive legacy through the work, and how she brings that to the projects and to the overall enterprise. She speaks about her team as a family that is “in it together” and she is proud of how shared success “comes before egos.”

She told us about her recent work on the Associated General Contractors Playbook on Decarbonization and Carbon Reporting in construction. We couldn’t resist asking her to talk about some notable recent projects, including PDX (the new airport in Portland, Ore., designed by ZGF) and the Moynihan Train Hall (at Penn Station in New York City, designed by SOM).
