Jury comments: This chiller plant is an unexpectedy beautiful building. Its design celebrates the industrial and makes it fun with a mix of color and transparency that maximize its passive educational potential. A historically forgettable building type becomes a sublime architectural moment, framing pedestrian flows and views to the surrounding landscape.
