Award recognition continues for Broadview, a senior living community integrated into the Purchase College campus in Rye Brook, New York. In addition to receiving accolades in the 2024 Senior Housing News (SHN) Architecture & Design Awards, the 2025 EFA Design Showcase recognized the work at Broadview with an Honorable Mention.

These award programs celebrate the best design and architecture in senior living environments. In the EFA competition, Broadview was one of four projects to receive an Honorable Mention by the jury of industry experts, including senior living architects, interior designers, owners/operators and consultants.

Broadview offers 174 independent living apartments, 46 single and duplex villas, 36 assisted living residences, 32 memory care beds, and a vibrant commons area with sought-after amenities. In addition, the project features a dynamic Learning Commons. This destination brings students and faculty from the performing and visual arts college together with senior living residents to enjoy academic, social and cultural activities.

The jury recognized the project for its innovative intergenerational environment and commended the team for incorporating the college atmosphere throughout the Learning Commons. They noted how the fresh aesthetic relates to the campus experience, the indoor/outdoor connections, the warm and inviting common areas, and how the details break down the scale of spaces and give the buildings character. Furthermore, they appreciated the overall experience for staff, residents, and visitors with ample opportunities for integration and activities.

One judge commented, “Wow! What an amazing project! From the artwork collaboration, operational efficiencies, high-end finishes, variety of amenities, architectural details, and layout of the whole campus, this is an exceptional project.”
