Payette’s Milken Institute of Public Health at George Washington University recieves a BSA Honor Award!
For this LEED Platinum-rated new school of public health, the design team successfully exploited numerous planning, organizational and technical execution strategies – from the very outset of design – to make this building a powerful vehicle for communicating sustainable design intent. As such, many of the building’s most sustainable solutions are so deliberately integrated and embedded as to be nearly indistinguishable from the its accommodation of programmatic requirements, manifestation of wellness and healthy living, and expression of institutional vision.
The sole judging criterion for the Honor Award Program is design excellence. The Jury is empowered to determine the extent to which design excellence is informed by aesthetic, functional, contextual, sustainability, social or other characteristics. The BSA will announce the tier of the award recipients at the annual Gala in January 2017. We are honored to have the Milken Institute included in this program.

This week, we`re celebrating the recently opened Hursey Center at the University of Hartford.
Driven by the University’s desire to create “a destination and activity hub” in the center of campus, the Hursey Center sits prominently in the middle of the Main Green. This unusual approach disrupts the campus’ existing organization, reducing the amount of primary open space but replacing it with several smaller open areas, recalibrating the scale and form of the campus and improving its character, spatial structure and hierarchy.
