The organization's Young Architects and Designers committee, selected each year from past winners of the League Prize, developed the programs theme and selected competition jurors. This years theme, "Range," reflects the committees perception of young architects careers as explorations of potential boundaries with practices that are radicalthat search the edges of the discipline to find its limits. The committee challenged designers to express the range [they] operate within and how that range reacts as [they] encounter perceived limits of the profession.

Winners will lecture in June and display their work in an exhibition on view through the summer. Their work will be featured in a new volume of the Young Architects series jointly published by Princeton Architectural Press and the league. Original interviews and video of the winners also will appear on the leagues website.

Tate Burns Architects LLC of Essex, Connecticut's design for a 9,600 square foot Laboratory for Comparative Medicine at the Yale University School of Medicine received a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI) Platinum rating from the US Green Building Council. This is the first renovation project at Yale to achieve a LEED-CI Platinum rating. The project located in the Brady Memorial Laboratory (built in 1916 with additions in 1929 and 1971) continues a tradition of sustainable design by Tate Burns and Yale. In 2009, a 15,000 square foot lab renovation project in the same building, also by Tate Burns received a LEED-CI Gold rating.

Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED certification is an internationally acknowledged standard for environmentally conscious design. Its criteria include sustainable siting, materials, water efficiency, energy savings, indoor air quality, day lighting, waste management and design innovation. Factors that also contribute to sustainability its location in a historic urban campus, ease of pedestrian access, inclusion of bicycle racks with changing/shower facilities and nearby Zipcar locations.

The project included a team of design and construction professionals: Babbidge Facilities Construction provided construction management. Other collaborators included the Yale University School of Medicine Facilities Planning and Construction office, R.G. Vanderweil Engineers, Sage Design and Consulting (LEED), Michael Horton Associates, Robert Schwartz and Associates, Philip R. Sherman, P.E., EcoOne Solutions and other local subcontractors and suppliers.

The architects of the development flew in from New York to take part in a topping out ceremony.

The team, from US firm Steven Holl Architects, joined Glasgow colleagues from the city's JM Architects and Professor Seona Reid, director of the art school.

Speaking at the event, Professor Reid said: "Over the last year the site has been a hive of activity as this wonderful building has risen from the ground and revealed its elegance and originality.

"Today's topping out ceremony is a landmark occasion for all the many people who have been involved in this exciting development.

"We are delighted to have Steven Holl and Chris McVoy with us today along with the team from JM Architects and representatives from Sir Robert McAlpine and Arup Engineering."

Built by Arup Engineering, the building is one of the most significant currently under construction in the UK.

The academic building will house design studios and offices, technical workshops and digital media labs, lecture facilities, communal staff and student areas, exhibition spaces and a new Mackintosh centre.

The site, opposite the Mackintosh Building, also includes a radical refurbishment of the GSA Students' Union, known as "the Vic".

Yesterday's ceremony saw a leafy branch nailed to the very top of the building, representing future growth.

Professor Reid added: "We are looking forward eagerly to the time when we can occupy the building and watch it providing an inspiring new environment for the creative endeavours of our staff and students."
