Last week Duke University celebrated the official opening of the new Environment Hall. The 70,000 GSF building is the new home for the University’s Nicholas School of the Environment. Members of the PAYETTE project team attended and shared some photos from the day’s festivities. Students and faculty alike shared their appreciation for the building, even referring to the facade as serene. We’ll return later this spring to take professional photos of the building and we’re looking forward to learn how students and faculty enjoy the new space.
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.”
