Our renovation and expansion for Peterborough Town Library received an AIA New Hampshire Honor Award for Excellence in Architecture Design and we were thrilled to celebrate! The AIANH Awards Celebration took place at the Capitol Center for the Arts Bank of NH Stage in Concord, New Hampshire, where we learned about the excellent work of our peers across the design community.
Peterborough Town Library in Peterborough, NH was founded in 1833 and is the oldest tax-supported public library in the world. The awards jury noted, “The design celebrates the rich history of the original building in its use of similar building materials, proportions, and rhythm. The jury was struck by the restraint in the building materials palette, and particularly by the thoughtful and sensitive orientation of fenestration to create either lively public spaces or contemplative reading areas.”
Thank you to AIA New Hampshire Chapter for this honor and memorable celebration, and congratulations to our project team!

The Wallace Center places dance, theater, music, and community at the heart of the Emma Willard School campus, repurposing a 1910 chapel as a multipurpose theater and adding a new arts wing, set into the landscape, with dance, studio, and orchestra rehearsal spaces. Founded in 1814, Emma Willard School in Troy, New York is a national leader in education for young women. Emma Willard has a long commitment to the arts as common ground. This center offers every student and faculty member a chance to participate, to assemble, and to connect.
Congratulations to our entire project team!

The Boston Athenaeum has received The Tsongas Award from Preservation Massachusetts for its recent renovation and expansion! This highest honor from Preservation Massachusetts recognizes people and projects that have displayed outstanding commitment to historic preservation in the Commonwealth.
Led by Ann Beha, our work with the Boston Athenaeum preserves a National Historic Landmark within a National Register District, while supporting a renewed mission of inclusion and transparency by welcoming everyone to visit. Each space is thoughtfully reimagined to engage visitors and facilitate interaction. Events and art collections, many focusing on women artists and artists of color, are now experienced within functional and dynamic layouts. Reconsidered exhibits connect past to present, creating more transparency for the Athenaeum’s history and for the history of Boston itself.
We are thrilled to celebrate this accomplishment on June 28th at the Massachusetts State House along with other awardees dedicated to preserving the important history and landmarks of our communities. You can read more on the Preservation Massachusetts Awards page.
