Centerbrook Awarded Three Green Building Awards

Honor Award: Yale Peabody Museum, New Haven, Connecticut

The renewal of the Yale Peabody Museum is its first major update since 1925, achieving LEED Gold certification. A new high-performance envelope and efficient mechanical systems reduce energy use by nearly 50 percent, despite significant added space. The project incorporates stormwater management systems, durable natural materials, and improved daylighting, supporting both building performance and the visitor experience while preserving the museum’s historic character.

Honor Award: Whittingham Discovery Center, Stamford, Connecticut

The LEED Platinum Whittingham Discovery Center is designed for low energy use and long-term resilience. High-performance systems and a rooftop solar array reduce energy demand well below baseline levels. Sustainable materials, green roofs, and on-site stormwater management strategies integrate the building into Mill River Park while supporting year-round community use.

Merit Award: New Canaan Library, New Canaan, Connecticut

The New Canaan Library expands usable space while significantly lowering energy use. The all-electric building operates far below baseline energy levels and is supported in part by on-site solar. Durable materials, efficient systems, and a landscape designed for stormwater absorption and habitat support contribute to long-term performance and user comfort.
