The renovation and expansion of the Harvard Art Museums is a collaborative effort with Renzo Piano Building Workshop and PAYETTE. Earlier this month, PAYETTE’s Principal-in-Charge on this project, Charlie Klee, accompanied several journalists on a tour led by museums director Thomas W. Lentz. Recent articles covering the project’s progress provide an early look at the glass rooftop, which will diffuse light through the building’s central circulation and onto the Calderwood Courtyard as well as the distinctive Alaskan yellow cedar exterior.
The building is expected to open Fall 2014.

We are honored to share PAYETTE has received two 2026 Green Good Design Awards from The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies—Land’s Sake Farm and The Ragon Institute of Mass General, MIT, and Harvard.
“Green GOOD DESIGN identifies and emphasizes the world’s most important examples of sustainable design and works to develop a public awareness program that informs the general public about which global companies are doing the best job in ecological and sustainable design for our world. Architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning projects, as well as product, packaging, and graphic design projects from over 30 nations were honored with the 2026 Green GOOD DESIGN Award.”
