Perkins+Will Earns National and Local Honors for Urban Planning
The global architecture, planning and design leader Perkins+Will has announced several recent honors for its planning practice, including a Citation for Design Excellence earned by AIA New York Chapter Health Facilities Committee, which is co-led by Jason Harper, AIA of Perkins+Will. This comes on the heels of a major national award from the American Planning Association (APA), the 2015 National Planning Excellence Award, given to Perkins+Will this year for “distinguished work that continues to influence the professional practice of planning.”
With these and other laurels, Perkins+Will’s New York office continues a strong growth path in urban design and large-scale projects as exemplified by its diverse work in the Northeast region. Working closely with city leaders, economic development groups, community groups, hospitals and businesses to solve myriad challenges of growth, Perkins+Will takes on often complex, design-driven projects that ultimately transform those places, the citation noted. The work is led by Janice Barnes, Ph.D, LEED AP Planning + Strategies Global Leader for Perkins+Will.
