The Project | Jury Comments

The utter simplicity of the low-slung horizontal bar form reflects the flat prairie landscape in which it is sited. Hierarchical clarity and clean articulation of the structural elements of columns, beams and decking are achieved through simple, economical materials, translating into a pleasingly minimal graphic composition of the primary elevation. Floor-to-ceiling glazing admits an abundance of daylight to the interior, refreshingly uncharacteristic of this particular building type. A covered arcade is a nice touch, offering shade and protection from the elements.
