Project Description

FROM AIA INDIANA:

Simple materials including huge anodized metal panels and glass help reinforce the contrast between nature and architecture and blur the line between interior and exterior space to allow the structure to be a canvas for art. Designers wanted the events and conference center to be a timeliness addition to the modern style of the University of Southern Indiana campus.

Jury Comments:
“This small academic building utilizes a simple, direct organization to connect the work to its bucolic site. The material palette is reductive and refined, with consistent detailing inside and out. The result is a sophisticated, mature work that will become better with age.”
