Prague Quadrennial	Lafayette’s arts plaza is one of several architectural projects selected to represent the United States in the prestigious Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space, an international exhibition that showcases some of the world’s most creative and innovative examples of performance and theater design.  Held every four years in Prague, Czech Republic, the Prague Quadrennial highlights artists and architects who have rejected conventional theater design and found or created alternative performance spaces. Lafayette’s arts plaza creates an open-air theater between two buildings on a concrete slab above the Bushkill Creek.
DVGBC	The Lehigh Valley Branch of the Delaware Valley Green Building Council (DVGBC) has honored Lafayette with the Green Campus award for its contributions to sustainability and green design. Lafayette began a campus-wide initiative in 2007 to include sustainability in its capital projects and campus operations, as well as making it part of the educational mission of the College through coursework, research projects, student organizations, and community outreach.
Chamber of Commerce	2012 Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce Commercial Real Estate Development Award for the College’s Arts Plaza located on North Third Street. The Arts Plaza at Lafayette College is a raw, open-air space for the arts. This distinctive space was envisioned as an outdoor black box that can host a wide array of planned and spontaneous artistic endeavors, including performance art, visual art exhibits, and small-group musical performances. The structure actually transforms an abandoned auto repair facility into a dynamic outdoor teaching space that responds to the built and natural environment of which it is part.
