WINNER: Outstanding Design, Architectural Portfolio, American School and University
Located at a prominent site on the St. John’s campus adjacent to the Great Lawn, the campus’s iconic center, this project reconnects this highly regarded Catholic university with its original Gothic-inspired architectural roots. Traditional details crafted of limestone, wrought iron, and rough-hewn granite are used in strategic locations to enhance the Collegiate Gothic campus environment while also controlling costs. The innovative scheme clusters housing for both student and priest around intimate courtyards, which encourages individuals to form their own smaller social and academic circles within the larger university community.
