Supporting the arts is the inherent responsibility of society. Artisans must be encouraged to challenge us with their contemporary views of the past, present and future. Fortunato is pleased to have been able to make the arts more accessible through the building of several facilities dedicated to cultural pursuits. By bringing a craftsman’s approach to designing and building, Fortunato has not only encouraged artistic expression, but has practiced it for generations.

Mount Sinai High School
Two characteristics distinguish this state-of-the-art theater complex: an orchestra out that is elevated via hydraulic lifts, and a ceiling fitted acoustical “cloud”, which evenly distributes sound emanating from the stage.

John Cranford Adams Playhouse
The elegant playhouse pictured here is located on the campus of Hofstra University. At the time of construction it was the largest Shakespearean theater in the United States.

Upon completion of Centennial Hall, Fortunato was presented with La Salle Military Academy’s first ever Medal of Honor Award for “outstanding accomplishments, dedication and commitment to community endeavors”.
