Project name: Rajen Kilachand Center for Integrated Life Sciences and Engineering
Project location: Boston
Firm name: Payette
Jury comments: The fins on this nine-story academic research building’s intriguing facade add depth and vision to what might otherwise be a bland glass box. Occupying a tight site on a prominent urban avenue, the center is a deceptively simple, beautiful, and stately front door to the university’s science and engineering precinct.
