Yale University Sterling Divinity Quadrangle Received the 2019 New Haven Preservation Trust Landmark Award
“As a tribute to ongoing discernment and determination by faculty and administration of the Yale Divinity School (YDS) regarding the preservation of its Sterling Quadrangle, the New Haven Preservation Trust bestows its Landmark Award. Exemplary buildings over the breadth and depth of history inspire and deserve preservation. Indeed, in 1996, Vincent Scully, Yale’s beloved and renown professor of architectural history, quickly responded to the University’s proposal to radically truncate the east end of the YDS quadrangle. Ever since his call to rethinking the issue, YDS has been and continues to be committed to the challenge of preservation and in so doing provides an ever more perfect fit for the School’s expanding and all-embracing curriculum and its encouragement of stewardship.” – The New Haven Preservation Trust
