Skolnick Architecture and Design announced that a recent project, the Jackie and Harold Spielman Children’s Library at the Port Washington Public Library, was honored with two “Archi Awards” at the 54th annual awards gala on Oct. 18.

The children’s library was recognized for Excellence in Architecture in the category: Best Non-Residential Interior. The project also won a special Benjamin Moore Colors Award for its “Outstanding Use of Color.” The library features bright colors that form paths from a central “tree of knowledge” to different learning areas within the 5,300 square foot space.

The annual AIA Long Island Chapter Design Awards Program recognizes excellence in architectural design by Long Island Architects and/or Long Island projects and aims to increase awareness of today’s outstanding architecture.
