Jury comments: This facility is an immersive learning environment, supporting class and living space, and it functions as a teaching lab about sustainability. Both passive and active strategies are incorporated, and we commend the transparent use of multiple technologies. Every space has access to natural light and views to the outdoors. The connection to local craft and handiwork is admirable. Palettes and materials are well blended, welcoming, and contextual throughout. The result is a place most conducive for learning.
