The publisher of Traditional Building and Period Homes magazines and the producer of the Traditional Building Conference Series announced today that Robert A.M. Stern Architects’ two new residential colleges at Yale University will be honored with a 2018 Palladio Award.

“This might be the most competitive contest we’ve seen in the seventeen years we have produced the Palladio Awards Program,” said Martha McDonald, Editor of Traditional Building.

Benjamin Franklin College and Pauli Murray College, Yale’s first new residential colleges in fifty years, housing 452 students each on a triangular 6.2-acre site, carry forward the Collegiate Gothic style established by architect James Gamble Rogers between the two world wars. RAMSA Partners Robert A.M. Stern, Graham S. Wyatt, and Melissa DelVecchio led the design effort.
