Lincoln School gets FoMA’s annual Modernism Award

The Friends of Modern Architecture/Lincoln is proud to present its annual Modernism award to the Lincoln School project for revitalizing the vision of Lincoln Modern architects Lawrence B. Anderson and Henry B. Hoover, who designed the original school buildings beginning in the 1940s. According to the citation, “Anderson and Hoover saw the power of Modernism to reimagine how architecture could assist the school community to think and learn in new and inclusive ways. With the generous support of the town, the School Building Committee, project architects and project builders have again reimagined the transformative power of architecture. The project team has realized an ambitious net zero project that centers on teachers and students while preserving Anderson’s and Hoover’s original design intent of creating close connections to nature and using natural light to create calm energy throughout the building.” 

Join FoMA and the Lincoln community to celebrate the revitalization of the Lincoln School at the ribbon-cutting ceremony and school tours on Friday, Oct. 28.
