Portland, ME E4H Environments for Health Architecture received IIDA New England’s award for Best Project in Health/Wellness for the design of the Glickman Lauder Center of Excellence in Autism and Developmental Disorders (CADD).

“We are so honored to be recognized by IIDA New England for the outstanding design work on this project. The Glickman Lauder Center of Excellence in Autism and Developmental Disorders embodies the best possible environment where people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can grow and learn,” said project lead Jon Boyd, AIA, LEED AP, LSSGB.

The new 28,000 s/f facility at 37 Andover Rd. consolidates services under one roof: adult and children’s treatment programs, outpatient care, and clinical research. Designers collaborated with staff to create a calming, supportive environment for ASD through sensory zoning, acoustics, and biophilic design. The IIDA New England awards honor the work and celebrates the teams behind each year’s most show-stopping spaces throughout New England. The health and wellness award honors the project that best promotes health & well-being and considers the physical, mental, and emotional effects of design on building occupants.

This project was led by Charles Rizza, AIA, NCARB; Jon Boyd, AIA, LEED AP; and Brian Laderbush with interior design by the E4H interiors team.
