The projects receiving awards were the Grant R. Doering Center for Science & Research at Bryn Athyn College in Bryn Athyn Pennsylvania and the Sigal Museum, an adaptive reuse project for the Northampton County Historical & Genealogical Society in Easton Pennsylvania. These buildings were selected out of nearly 100 entries submitted by architects practicing in Pennsylvania of projects completed throughout the country and around the world.In recognizing the Doering Center (shown at left) with its award, the AIA PA Awards Jury commented, "This project is very inventive. While it adheres to the campus guidelines, it pushes the envelope of those guidelines. It takes them to a contemporary vocabulary."Summarizing the Sigal Museum (shown at right), the Awards Jury noted, "This project pulls you in. We appreciated the use of concrete and slate as materials deeply connected to the region's industrial heritage. While the facade is new, it respects the massing, scale, and proportion of the historic Victorian-era architecture that characterizes downtown Easton."Spillman Farmer Architects is honored to have the Doering Center and Sigal Museum recognized for design excellence by our peers in the architectural community. Each project is distinct in context, scope, scale, and materials, but both speak to SFA's mission, which is to create meaningful, lasting, and authentic places that function beautifully and resonate with local and regional history.
