Preservation

Cheney Mill Dye House, Manchester, CT
Crosskey Architects LLC, Hartford, CT

Jury comments: This is an entirely sensible adaptive reuse project, a wonderful way to preserve the early 20th century urban, industrial fabric. It is a way to make positive the attributes of an otherwise derelict building.

Ingalls Rink, Yale University, New Haven, CT
Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates LLC, Hamden, CT
