The Grand Valley Chapter of the AIA awarded Integrated Architecture
two Honor Awards at their recent annual awards dinner meeting.
Winning in both the building design category and interior
renovation, Integrated Architecture demonstrated versatility
of design excellence with two dramatically different winners.
The
building design award went to Rush Copley Healthplex, Aurora,
Illinois. This 196,000 SF healthcare project merges traditional
fitness with rehabilitative, preventative and primary care
physician health care services. Judges described the project
as "very appealing interior spaces with great integration
of natural light, would be fun to use!"
Winning
the interior architecture awards was CPR, Grand Rapids,
Michigan. The 33,560 SF transformation of manufacturing
facility to computer tech center featured non-traditional
materials as well as unconventionally shaped glass box data
centers. The jury comments included an appreciation of the
integration of inexpensive materials and nice attention
to detail.
"We
are pleased and proud to be recognized by the AIA. These
awards affirm our staff's ability to deliver excellence
on a wide variety of projects," said Paul Dickinson,
AIA, IA President. "Our goal is to always exceed expectations
while positively affecting the built environment. Both of
these projects do just that."
