"Preserving history on campus"

Telegram & Gazette



The College of the Holy Cross’ Paul E. Tsongas Award from Preservation Massachusetts for Campus Commitment graced the front page of the Telegram & Gazette's local section. Named for the late senator, the Tsongas Award is Preservation Massachusetts’ highest honor.

“We are pleased to be recognized for our work in creating contemporary buildings and renovating existing structures so they fit with the character and historic nature of our beautiful grounds, as well as with our commitment to environmental sustainability,” said Scott Merill, director of physical plant at the College. “Holy Cross’ own history is told, in part, by the buildings in which members of our community study, worship, reflect, and debate every day.”
