LAFAYETTE TODAY
AIA Honors Skillman
Skillman Library was selected by the American Institute of Architects to receive
a 2006 Institute Honor Award for Interior Architecture. The National Honor Award is
the most prestigious awards program for
architecture in the United States.
“I’m pleased that the deep involvement of Lafayette’s students, faculty, staff, and trustees in the programming and design of the new Skillman Library resulted in such an effective and beautiful structure,” says Neil McElroy, director of libraries and information technology services, who accepted the award at AIA’s National Convention and
Design Expo in Los Angeles. “I’m proud that
the design qualities are being widely recognized by the architectural profession, but what is most important is that Skillman Library so clearly enhances teaching and learning at Lafayette,
which was the chief objective of the project
and the wish of its generous donors.”
