Brown’s recently renovated Rhode Island Hall has received a 2012 Institute Honor Award for Interior Architecture from the American Institute of Architects (AIA). One of the oldest buildings on the College Green, Rhode Island Hall is home to the Artemis A.W. and Martha Sharp Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World. The AIA noted that “the contemporary intervention within this historic shell challenges the notion of archaeology as a conservative and dusty pursuit and supports the mission of the Joukowsky Institute as a progressive leader in the field of archaeology.” Rhode Island Hall was also the first building at Brown to be certified LEED Gold for new construction. The renovation project was led by Anmahian Winton Architects of Cambridge, Mass., with Nick Winton, a 1985 Brown graduate, as the principal designer.
