¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø Commons Receives AIA Honor Award

The renovation of the ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College Commons, completed in Fall 2019,  a 2021 AIA Honor Award by the American Institute of Architects, New York (AIANY).

This juried prize, selected from a highly competitive field of entries, is one of the highest levels of honor awarded as part of AIANY's annual design awards.

¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø is among only five total recipients of the Honor award this year.

The ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø Commons has always been an exceptional building, known for both its striking physical characteristics, and for its role as the heart of the ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø campus—the place where the community comes together to talk, to eat, and to learn from each other.

The spirit of ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø is infused throughout Commons, and jurors were inspired to see this spirit manifested so vibrantly in Christoff:Finio’s design.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has quieted the building for the moment, the ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø community looks forward to a time in the near future when we can safely reunite again in Commons and animate its spaces with the sounds of debate, conversation, and laughter.
