The Chicago-based firm headed by Jeanne Gang, FAIA, has been selected to design the expansion for the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock. Studio Gang Architects won the commission over four other finalists: Allied Works Architecture, Shigeru Ban Architects, Thomas Phifer and Partners, and Snøhetta.
The center’s executive director writes: “Our selection committee felt Studio Gang was the best fit for the project, due to the firm’s elegant and smart approach to architecture, their understanding of the issues posed by the AAC’s current facility, their vision for the center as a cultural beacon for Central Arkansas and their commitment to sustainability and strength as urban planners.”
