Today, the AIA New York Committee on the Environment announced the winners of its third annual AIANY COTE Awards. The four winning projects—all located in densely populated areas within 200 miles of Manhattan’s Central Park—were determined to be exemplars of socially and environmentally responsible urban design.
This year’s two honor awards went to the LEED Platinum-certified George Washington Milken Institute of Public Health in Washington, D.C., designed by Payette, and the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill-designed Kathleen Grimm School for Leadership and Sustainability at Sandy Ground in Staten Island, which will be the first net-zero-energy school in the Northeast.
