Jury comments: A tired 1970s academic structure on a tight urban site is retrofitted with a contemporary punched-window metal facade and enhanced by a cedar-clad addition. The result is something bold. Its interior courtyard vibrates with dynamic color and provides bright, light spaces for circulation and for gathering.
