Award-winning Yale building design projects are highlighted in traveling exhibition

Two Yale building design projects received Honor Awards from American Institute of Architects (AIA) Connecticut and are featured in the group’s traveling exhibition, which will be on view throughout the month of March at the New Haven Free Public Library, 133 Elm St.

The Louis I. Kahn Art Gallery, part of the Yale University Art Gallery, and the Science Hill Parking Garage were among five projects to win Honor Awards, while nine other projects from around the state received Honorable Mention designations.

The Kahn Gallery renovation by the Polshek Partnership Architects of New York won in the Preservation category. The judges wrote of the project: “The new window system solved weathering issues but respected the original design intent. All restoration decisions respected and brought back the original splendor to the building.”

The Science Hill Parking Garage, designed by Herbert S. Newman & Partners of New Haven, was cited in the Built category. The judges wrote: “The entry pavilion of this parking garage is in scale with the neighboring buildings; both scale and detailing fit into the neighborhood. ... The beauty of the plan is that car and pedestrian entries are kept separate.”

In addition to the traveling exhibition, images of the winning projects are on view at www.aiact.org.
