Additions to Campbell Hall Win 2009 VSAIA Award for Excellence in Design
The Virginia Society of the American Institute of Architects announced that the additions to Campbell Hall are the recipient of the highest honor in the Society’s annual Excellence in Design program. The two faculty members who served as architects for the additions to Campbell Hall, W.G. Clark and William Sherman, as well as the alumni at SMBW Architects (including Will Scribner, and others), the firm who served as the architect of record for the project, will all be recognized as key contributors to the superior design.
As was noted by a jury member, "Among the 9 other projects in the architecture category, Campbell Hall was recognized with distinction."
The additions to Campbell Hall are part of a larger decade-long project, Campbell Constructions, which was directed by (former dean) Prof. Karen Van Lengen.
Recipients of the Award for Excellence in Design will be honored at a special session during Architecture Exchange East in Richmond on Nov. 6, and at the Visions for Architecture gala, also on Nov. 6; in a special exhibition at the Virginia Center for Architecture (opening reception January 7, 2010); and in Inform magazine’s annual directory (July/August, 2010).
