Jacobs Hall receives 2017 AIA Education Facility Design Award of Merit

The American Institute of Architects (AIA)’s Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE) has awarded the Jacobs Institute of Design Innovation a 2017 Award of Merit.  “Education continues to evolve, and the projects from this year’s Education Facility Design Awards program…represent the state-of-the-art learning environments being developed in today’s learning spaces,” states the AIA. “These projects showcase innovation across the entire learning continuum, displaying how today’s architects are creating cutting-edge spaces that enhance modern pedagogy.”  Jacobs Hall is devoted to introducing design innovation at the center of engineering education and university life, and is designed as an interdisciplinary hub for students and teachers who love working at the intersection of design and technology.  It is “both a team-based, project-centric educational space and a compelling symbol to the region of the University’s commitment to enlightened, sustainable innovation.”
