Congratulations to the 2025 Design Awards Winners

This year's awards dinner was graciously hosted by the Architectural-Engineering Department of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in their Innovation Studio Building.

Awards were presented across multiple categories to six firms, most of which are local to Central Massachusetts. We were fortunate to once again have Steve Schreiber from UMass Amherst's Architectural Program to provide some insight into the jury deliberations and why the winning projects were selected.
