The PJ's Coffee Shop at Stern Hall will receive a national design award from the AIA in the 2008 Small Projects Award Program. The Award will be presented during the 2008 AIA National Convention in Boston. The project was one of only 18 selected from a field of 150 submissions from around the country.
The Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life was chosen by the American Institute of Architects as one of the top 10 green buildings in the country. The announcement was made by the AIA on Earth Day (April 22) 2008.

Project: PJ's Cafe at Percival Stern Hall
Department: University Services
Architect: Wayne Troyer Architects
Completed:
Budget:
Members of the campus community now enjoy the PJ's Cafe at Percival Stern as a great coffee house and place to convene, collaborate, and rest.
The Cafe takes advantage of its unique site--central to the main pedestrian and bike access route to the front academic campus to sculpt a bold, contemporary architectural statement out of glass and steel as well as embrace the shady breezes of the Percival Stern underpass.
Digital workstations for e-mail/internet access as well as outdoor tables and seating are key amenities of the project.
