Pomfret School’s VISTA was recognized by CT CMAA - Connecticut Chapter of Construction Management Association of America with a Project Achievement Award in the Best Buildings Project Under $25 Million category! Working with Shawmut Design and Construction on this 22,000 square foot new building, we are proud of this honor for outstanding achievements in construction management. The new three-story Venue for Innovation, Science, Technology, and Academics is sited prominently on the main academic quad of Pomfret’s 500-acre campus, taking full advantage of views to the hillsides beyond. The building includes laboratories and classrooms with open layouts and transparency between academic and collaboration areas, fostering integration with the school community across many disciplines. Clad with regionally sourced metal panels in multi-tone terra cotta colors, VISTA is responsive to the materiality of the surrounding buildings. Broad expanses of glass provide ample daylight in the labs, while sharing interior activities with the campus community. Congratulations to the entire team!
