The Wheeler School, Gilder Center for the Arts

Our renovation and expansion of Harvard Divinity School’s Swartz Hall has received a 2023 New England Architecture Award. It was a pleasure to attend the celebration in Mystic, Connecticut to accept the Merit Award in the Educational category.

Annum was also recognized as a 2023 New England AIA Components Emerging Professional Friendly Firm.

Thank you to Flory Makuwa from Harvard Divinity School for helping us celebrate!

We are proud to announce that Xue Fei Lin, John Turnbull, and Tayyaba Anwar have all recently passed the Architectural Registration Examination (ARE), a last step of many in becoming a registered architect. Congratulations to our evolving and awesomely talented team!

Our three-story, 22,000 square foot science center at Pomfret School has an official name: VISTA – Venue for Innovation, Science, Technology, and Academics.

The acronym, selected as a memorable descriptor of the new community-centric space, also celebrates the beautiful expansive views of Pomfret’s playing fields and the valley beyond.

VISTA is anticipated to open in Fall 2024. Read more on The Pomfret School Blog.
