Perry Hall Wins Top Excellence Awards

Roger H. Perry Hall, winner of 2011 Architectural Excellence Award

The Burlington Business Association (BBA) presented its 2011 Architectural Excellence Award to Champlain College’s Roger H. Perry Hall in April. The BBA has more than 200 member businesses that work year-round to promote the economic vitality of Burlington. The award is given annually to a project contributing significantly to the physical or architectural quality of Burlington.

The Vermont Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects awarded Perry Hall and the lawn its 2010 Vermont Public Space Award
in March.

The building houses the Advising and Registration Center, Admissions, and Financial Aid, and serves as the Student Welcome Center. The restoration included energy-efficient climate control systems, including a geothermal pump. The ultimate goal is to earn certification from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. LEED recognizes performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality.
