The John E. Jaqua Academic Center for Student Athletes in Eugene, Oregon. Designed by ZGF Architects LLP. Winner of the 2011 Institute Honor Award for Interior Architecture. Project description: "The Jaqua Center explores the limits of transparency and connectivity to provide student-athletes a place to gather as a community focused on study and learning. The building incorporates a range of learning environments, from small spaces for individual tutorials to a large 150-seat auditorium. The challenge of creating a tranquil environment where students feel connected to natural landscape elements and daylight was heightened by the chosen location: a busy intersection between campus and the city of Eugene, on the site of a former parking lot at one of the major campus entrances."
