"Sometimes buildings are said to have a soul," explained AIA Vice President Todd Ray in presenting the award during a ceremony at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. "This one has a conscience." The judges for this award were particularly impressed with the combination of historic renovation and green design. In presenting the award, Ray highlighted the ground source geothermal heating, the green roof, and the ability to combine a modern design with the historic brick architecture of the area.
