FRAMINGHAM – The architects, who designed the new Fuller Middle School, have won a couple of awards.

Jonathan Levi Architects received Chicago Athenaeum American Architecture Award: Honorable Mention: American Architecture Awards 2022.

And the firm was a runner up for the Global Design and Architecture “Rethinking the Future” Award in the Public Building category.

“The new Fuller Middle School design provides students the flexible, expansive space to build upon the preparatory STEAM education pedagogies Framingham students experience in elementary school. In the new facility, a three-story Learning Commons, paired classroom suites with shared teacher planning offices to promote team teaching, flexible indoor and outdoor gathering areas, all new systems, and a 420-seat auditorium bring together the entire academic community, showcasing project-based learning and inspiring creativity and collaboration. Forwarding the broader community’s goal of creating a new civic focus for South Framingham, the 196,000-sf, LEED Gold-designed building is set back beyond a sloped outdoor amphitheater with a performance shell a gathering lawn for students and venue for town-wide events and performances.”
