UPenn’s Graduate School of Education featured in Architectural Record

The University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education (Penn GSE) expansion and renovation has been awarded LEED v4 Gold.

“I can think of no better day to share the news of our LEED Gold certification than today — Earth Day,” said Penn GSE Dean Katharine Strunk. “We remain deeply committed to Penn’s Climate and Sustainability Action Plan to move the campus closer to becoming 100% carbon neutral by 2042.”

Philip Chen FAIA, Annum Architects President, said, “Sustainability was at the core of this project, which transformed a 60-year-old site and buildings into a modern and vibrant home for GSE, nourishing the community and serving their needs now and long into the future.”

Ann Beha Architects, now Annum Architects, celebrated the groundbreaking of the 107,000 SF new Dyson Center at Marist College, a reimagined home for the College’s School of Management and School of Social and Behavioral Sciences in Poughkeepsie, NY that will serve as a campus centerpiece.

Marist College President Kevin Weinman said at the event, “The new Dyson Center will be an inspiring place for teaching, learning, research, and collaboration. With its beautiful design, central location, and ample public space for socializing, group study, and individual work and reflection, students of all disciplines will benefit from this truly transformative facility. My sincerest thanks to Rob Dyson and everyone at the Dyson Foundation, Ann Beha, Marist’s Board of Trustees, and President Emeritus Dennis Murray for their work over many years to bring this vision to life.”

We had the pleasure of working with Museum of Fine Arts, Boston on the Dutch & Flemish Art Galleries and the Center for Netherlandish Art. We’re thrilled to see the works of Michaelina Wautier, a long-overlooked 17th-century woman artist, featured in one of the newly renovated gallery spaces and covered in The New York Times.

We’re excited to see the MFA getting national recognition for their ongoing initiative to highlight this important era in art history, and to have supported them in doing so.
