AIA DISTINGUISHED BUILDING AWARD
The Lycee established ambitious objectives for the project, desiring to create a campus with a bold and inspiring design within the constraints of financial frugality. The design takes advantage of a large urban site in which to accommodate an academic campus environment with two independent but connected pavilions for academic functions and performance arts. The campus also includes recreational areas and a soccer field.
