Ellenzweig

We’re thrilled to announce that three exceptionally talented students from the Boston Architectural College, under the guidance of Ellenzweig’s Associate Principal Jacob Werner and Tyler Hinckley, won the 2024 AIA COTE Top Ten for Students competition! A huge congratulations to Betty Chen, Rohith Reddy Dumpala, and Lexi Winston for their outstanding project: "Fire Station Park: An Elevated Experience." Their design stood out among more than 1,400 submissions from 85 schools. We’re incredibly proud of these future design leaders and can’t wait to see their continued success in the field. Congratulations to Betty, Rohith, and Lexi!

When Yale University decided to relocate its neuroscience and psychology disciplines into new facilities at 100 College Street, the University enlisted Ellenzweig to help unify various departments that had been scattered across its campus into a single, cohesive environment conducive to interdisciplinary collaboration. Our mission was to enhance both physical and intellectual connections. The result was the renovation of over 140,000 square feet of existing office space into cutting-edge research labs, offices, and collaboration spaces. In partnership with Vanderweil Engineers, we designed interconnected labs that are efficient, flexible, and adhere to the highest sustainability standards. The building now accommodates departments from the School of Medicine along with the Wu Tsai Institute, a University initiative established in 2021 to further research into human cognition. With the recent dedication of 100 College Street, Yale has further strengthened its position as a leader in the bioscience sector.

At last weekend’s Girl Scouts of Eastern MA STEM Fest, Ellenzweig hosted a table where over 60 #girlscouts from Daisies through Cadettes eagerly tackled building their own houses which then became part of an ever-expanding and collaborative neighborhood of their own design. It was truly inspiring and a load of fun to see the skill and intense focus of these budding #architects as they assembled their houses from cut-out patterns and creatively decorated them before carefully picking the perfect spot for their house in the neighborhood. Thank you to Ellenzweigers Jeanne Kuespert Roberts, AIA, Eric Mitchell, Wendy Morita, Tina Binazir, and Gesse Faber for organizing and leading our activity. And a big thank you to GSEMA staff and volunteers who made the event possible. #GirlScoutsSTEMFest #STEMForAll #GirlScouts #futurearchitects #womenarchitects

To mark Earth Day this year, we invited six vendors to the office to showcase their new and innovative earth-friendly architectural products. During this mini in-house trade show, we all had the opportunity to speak with reps from each of these companies to learn about their products, which ranged from interior wood surfaces made from recycled chopsticks and lighting fixtures using all natural materials to eco-friendly flooring, ceiling panels, paints, stains, and exterior glass. Thank you to Kathleen Barron, IIDA from Building & Design Resources Inc for organizing the event and the six vendors who participated: Armstrong Ceiling Solutions US ChopValue Boston Duracryl Flooring Systems Illuminate New England Keim Mineral Coatings of America, Inc. LuxWall, Inc. #earthday #architecture #officeculture
