The design for the Wescustogo Hall and North Yarmouth Community Center called for a 20,000sf net-positive community center for the Town of North Yarmouth, Maine replacing a beloved grange hall lost to fire in 2013. The building provides flexible civic, social, creative and athletic space for the growing community. Wescustogo Hall and Commnuity Center was honored by the Maine chapter of the AIA with a 2020 Merit Award for Excellence in Architecture in the Commercial/Institutional catergory.
Jury Comments: One juror summed up our amazement on this project succinctly. “They took THAT and made a building out of it!” The fact that the building was the only Net Positive project among the competition was also noteworthy and in keeping with the spirit of doing a lot with a little.
