Charles Commons Honored

The Association of University Real Estate Officials has honored Johns Hopkins' Charles Commons with its 2007 Award of Excellence, which recognizes a project that has had the greatest impact on a university. Criteria for the award stipulate that the project should be innovative and cost- effective, and a model for others to follow. The award was accepted for the university and other project participants by David McDonough, JHU's director of development oversight, at AUREO's annual meeting, held Sept. 30 to Oct. 3 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Other recent kudos for Charles Commons include the Multifamily Executive Award in the Project of the Year, Student Category, and an Honorable Mention from AIA Baltimore. In April, the National Association of Homebuilders honored the residential, dining and retail complex with a 2007 Pillars of the Industry Award, recognizing it as the Best Student Housing Apartment Rental Community of the Year.
