Harrison Design is proud to announce that the renovation of Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel at Thomas Aquinas College in Northfield, Massachusetts has been honored with the Philip Trammell Shutze Award for Excellence in the Classical Tradition, presented by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA).

Now in its 19th year, the Shutze Awards celebrate outstanding achievements in classical architecture and design across the Southeastern region. This year’s event gathered leading architects, designers, and artisans for an evening that honored timeless design and enduring craftsmanship.

Built over a century ago, Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel carries deep spiritual and architectural significance. Harrison Design revitalized this cherished space for Catholic liturgy, preserving its historical integrity while enhancing its beauty and functionality. Our team approached the renovation with reverence and precision, ensuring the chapel continues to inspire for generations to come.

“It was a profound honor to serve as the architects for the renovation of Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel,” said Nic, Principal at Harrison Design. “This century-old church has been beautifully transformed thanks to the exceptional craftsmanship of our dedicated team of artisans and designers. We extend our sincere gratitude to Thomas Aquinas College for their inspiring vision and steadfast support.”

We are deeply grateful to all who contributed their talents to this project and to the ICAA for celebrating excellence in the classical tradition.
