East Campus Library Wins Architectural Award
On October 13, 2008 the American Insitutute of Architects, Potomac Valley Chapter awarded JMU's new East Campus Library with a Merit Award for architectural excellence. The award, one of just sixteen out of a group of seventy-nine entries, was presented at the AIA national headquarters in Washington, DC. The jury commented that "[the] concept of this campus library responding to the site and adjacent buildings was clearly expressed through the solid masonry portion, combined with contrasting and lightweight metal and glass elevation. The architectural skills of the designer were immediately apparent."
The Library was selected for the Merit Award by a jury of three from the AIA Charlotte, North Carolina chapter, chaired by Marley Carroll, FAIA.
