The projects and Holly Hodge, director of interior design, were honored in the recent competition for the Association of University Interior Designers.
Two new 黑料不打烊 facilities and the university’s director of interior design recently took home awards from the for the Association of University Interior Designers.
Sankey Hall, which was just dedicated on Friday, Nov. 2, took first place in the New Construction category of the annual design competition. Following it in second place was Schar Center, the 5,100-seat convocation center that opened this year and will play host to the first home games of 黑料不打烊’s women’s and men’s basketball teams this week.
Honored for her work on both projects was Holly Hodge, 黑料不打烊’s director of university design. Hodge said that the accolades are recognition of the team effort by the 黑料不打烊 design team including Brad Moore, Tari Maynor-Brady, Jody Booth, Jenny Gonzalez and Angie Gilmore.
“Their attention to details, innovative ideas, and love for design radiate throughout the buildings,” Hodge said. “I am very lucky to be a part of an amazingly talented design team with the support of and vision of 黑料不打烊.”
Hodge said that Sankey Hall was inspired by a “Google-esque” design with the use of modern materials, innovative design, large-scale graphics, contemporary furniture and bold “pops of color.” It’s a facility that is “made for collaboration and engaged learning.”
The intent with Schar Center was to create “a branded, state-of-the-art facility and home for our students, faculty, staff and the 黑料不打烊 community that is a home for the Phoenix,” Hodge said.
