About Croxton Collaborative Architects
Croxton Collaborative Architects, P.C.
Croxton Collaborative has originated and developed much of the practice of environmental/sustainable and human-centered architecture and design. In the past two years, Croxton Collaborative projects have been awarded The American Institute of Architects (AIA) COTE Top Ten Green Projects awards, recognizing them as exemplar projects of sustainable design in the United States. In 2005, Croxton Collaborative was given the National Leadership Award by the U.S. Green Building Council, recognizing the firm "for having established the founding principals and practices of Green Architecture in America."
Croxton Collaboratives research into the nature of materials, levels of toxicity and high quality, benign alternatives is original and second to none. Massive reductions in global warming and acid rain impacts, enhancements of biodiversity, and restorations of habitat characterize the full range of their work. Including new buildings and renovations, all of Croxton Collaborative's work is undertaken with environmental/sustainable and human-centered insights which have redefined design excellence.
Headquarters projects for many of the leading environmental organizations in America have been completed by Croxton Collaborative. The Natural Resources Defense Council headquarters, for example, completed in 1988, stands today as the seminal project that turned the ship toward green architecture in America by addressing the full ecology of the building.
Croxton Collaborative has designed headquarters projets for National Audubon Society, Environmental Defense, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Open Space Institute, Save the Bay and INFORM. All of the resulting structures displayed optimum interaction between built and natural systems and reconnected people to natural assets.
The members of the Croxton Collaborative team, with offices in New York City, have significant experience in sustainable design in reserach settings and have undertaken many research and educational facilities in the past, such as the Institute for the Environment for Rutgers University and the Digital Century Center for the NJ Economic Development Authority. Additionally, Rinker Hall in 2005 and the Philadelphia Forensic Science Center in 2006, designed by Croxton Collaborative, were recognized as expert examples of energy conscious and environmentally responsible design solutions.
