Community colleges are more attractive than ever—by design and reputation, as we share in our latest #Insights article. A true labor of love, our teams design and develop strategic plans, renovation, reuse, and new building projects that honor these institutions’ standing in their communities, strengthen their ties to area universities and employers, and welcome the broadly diverse population of their students. “We are saying with our actions that, like four-year universities, #communitycolleges also deserve architecture with a big ‘A,’ because the work they are doing is very impactful indeed,” says Omar Calderon, AIA, principal at Perkins Eastman.

Our Sustainability team had a great time at Greenbuild International Conference & Expo 2024, the #1 green building event for sustainability professionals. Held in Philadelphia this year, the conference is specifically designed to keep participants at the forefront of the industry covering #sustainability, #resilience, #health, and #wellness in the spaces where we live, work, learn, and play. Ryan Dirks, AIA, LEED AP, CPHC presented on a panel titled “The Carbon, The Whole Carbon, and Nothing But the Carbon,” where he shared his insights on the relationship between #embodiedcarbon and #operationalcarbon over the lifespan of a building. Afterwards, our Philadelphia studio hosted a happy hour for conference attendees, where our PE Green Coordinators shared project showcases from their studios and PEople from our Philly studio showed off their designs for a sketch of the month competition. Several of our #PEople attended the conference this year, including Koray Aysin, Mwanzaa Brown, Ryan Dirks, AIA, LEED AP, CPHC, Anjali Gopalakrishnan,LEED Green Associate, Assoc.

As the week of #VeteransDay comes to a close, WGN-TV gives a nice shout-out to our Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy. Designed by Perkins Eastman for the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs, the 251,000 sf, 210-unit long-term care environment in Quincy, IL, features a resident-focused design that promotes independence, wellbeing, and connection among the #veterans. “It’s statistically shown that veterans who live in a veterans home will live twice as long as they would in a typical nursing home because of the love, care, and support,” says Terry Prince, director of the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs.

The Fifth Avenue Hotel is a winner! At an awards ceremony at NYC’s Cipriani earlier this week, Boutique Design | BDNY announced the winners of its 44th Annual #GoldKeyAwards for Excellence in Hospitality Design, where they shared The Fifth Avenue Hotel had won first place in the “Hotel Luxury” category. Shawn Basler, AIA, co-CEO and executive director of Perkins Eastman, celebrated the news at the ceremony with Alexander Ohebshalom, Angela Lo, and David Ridoutt, as well as Andrew Deibel of MBDS and others. As hotel design architect, Perkins Eastman gave new life to a historic building by meticulously renovating and transforming a bank, originally designed by McKim, Mead & White, into a luxurious gem of a #hotel on 28th Street and Fifth Avenue. Martin Brudnizki Design Studio (MBDS) served as the interior designer, and we worked with PBDW Architects on the 24-story modern landmark tower that complements the hotel. A vaulted two-story space in the re-adapted bank includes a signature restaurant, Café Carmellini. “The Mansion,” as it is known, also features lounges, a ballroom, and hotel amenities, and spacious private suites overlooking Fifth Avenue. Guest rooms spread throughout both buildings provide a relaxing atmosphere in the hustle and bustle of the city. Thoughtfully designed with attention and care, The Fifth is a luxury #boutiquehotel in the heart of New York City like no other.

On this #VeteransDay, we invite you to take a look at several transformative projects Perkins Eastman has designed for our nation’s heroes, including three new #veteranshomes in Montevideo, Preston, and Bemidji, MN, the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, IL, and the D.J. Jacobetti Michigan Veterans Home in Marquette, MI. Emphasizing #connection, #wellbeing, and #authenticity, each of these projects feature new approaches that are enhancing nationwide care and support for those who have served our country. “With each VA project, we design to enhance autonomy, choice, and well-being,” says Jerry R Walleck, managing principal of our Chicago studio. “Seeing the impact our work has on veterans continues to be the most rewarding part of this process.” Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/eWxpZWXB #PerkinsEastman #HumanByDesign #Veterans #Military #SeniorLiving #IndependentLiving #Design #Architecture

BIG NEWS! Three of our senior living projects have been recognized in this year’s Senior Housing News Architecture & Design Awards, an annual program that recognizes the cutting-edge design, excellence, and innovation in #seniorliving. Taking first place in the “Independent Living” category, Inspirata Pointe at Royal Oaks is a senior living community in Sun City, AZ, that redefines desert living. Featuring sumptuous amenities such as a club center with three new restaurants, a classroom for the community’s life enrichment program full of engaging activities, and a concierge service center, Inspirata Pointe blends the best of #residential and #hospitality design. John Knox Village, a luxury residential community in Pompano Beach, FL, secured second place in the “Independent Living” category. Inspired by Floridians’ coastal lifestyle, our team focused the design around a “campus heart” that aligned with the residents’ long-term vision. A new “experience district” formed the heart, which features a pedestrian-friendly lakeside path that connects social, cultural, fitness, dining, and residential areas. At the core are The Vue and Terrace of Westlake, which offer 147 luxury apartments with lakefront amenities and parking. Infused with the ideals of sun, sand, and sea, John Knox Village has redefined #generationalliving with its hospitality and wellness model. In addition, Eastmont, a senior living community in Lincoln, NE, earned third place in the “Renovation/Repositioning (Campus)” category. Drawing inspiration from local landmarks such as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln stadium, the Nebraska State Capitol, agricultural rows, farmstead geometric shapes, and Lincoln railyards, the new design integrates familiar architectural elements into the community’s overall aesthetic. Eastmont features an interconnected series of existing towers linked by one-story common amenity spaces, enhancing the overall campus with a simple entry sequence that leads to each tower. The new common area showcases lively daylit spaces with garden views, and the campus now also includes a health and wellness center, pool, performing arts center, landscaped courtyards, a casual dining restaurant, 50 #independentliving apartments, and below-grade parking. A big shout-out to the design teams for each of these projects, and congratulations too to our fellow winners.
