Best in State, Connecticut  | CREC Discovery Academy

An abandoned electric utility site is producing "renewable energy" in the form of a PK - Grade 5 magnet school devoted to literacy in STEM subjects: science, technology, engineering and math. Discovery Academy, operated by the Capital Regional Educational Council, opened in Wethersfield, CT in September 2015, in a facility that creates learning opportunities inside and out. Amenta Emma designers salvaged 48,000 sf of an existing building and created a 19,000 sf addition to accommodate learning spaces, labs, and a multipurpose gymnasium/theater/cafeteria. The facility takes full advantage of natural light and emphasizes indoor-outdoor connections, aligned with the school's STEM theme. 

Best Office Design, 30,000 - 80,000 sf  | Xylem

Xylem is a company dedicated to developing drinking and wastewater systems to improve water quality and accessibility in more than 150 countries around the world. Inspired by Xylem's passion for global water solutions, the design team incorporated the company's values and brand throughout the entire new 70,000 sf corporate headquarters, while earning USGBC's LEED® Gold certification. 

Best in Healthcare | Reproductive Medicine Associates of CT

Reproductive Medicine Associates of CT is one of the leading fertility centers in the country. Understanding that families experience a high level of stress on the road to pregnancy, designers created a relaxing environment through the use of soothing colors, soft forms, and floral wall coverings. The 20,635 sf space includes a comfortable and spacious reception area, exam and treatment rooms, recovery areas, consultation rooms, education rooms, as well as administrative and doctors' offices.
