The Connecticut Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects awarded a Connecticut Design Award to Towers|Golde LLC, site planners and landscape architects of New Haven, for courtyard renovations at Pierson and Davenport residential colleges.
The landscaped courtyards of the two colleges are now renovated as part of the larger building-renewal program of residential complexes at the University. The redesigned courtyards form a series of over 15 outdoor "rooms" with a variety of flowering plants, bluestone and brick paved walkways and terraces, and feature historic-style benches, lighting and other site furnishings. The project also involved rebuilding the streetscapes along adjacent Park and York streets with wrought iron-gated building entrances, distinctive moat plantings and other improvements.
Jeffrey C. Alexander, the Lillian Chavenson Saden Professor of Sociology, has received the 2006 Professional and Scholarly Publishing Award from the Association of American Publishers for "The Civil Sphere."
Alexander won in the category "Sociology and Social Work." The annual prize is given in 30 different categories of books, journals and digital products. Winners are chosen by a 12-member panel consisting of librarians, academics and working publishers for their "unique contribution to scholarly publishing."
