Every five years each school of architecture around the country seeks to renew its accreditation with the National Architectural Accreditation Board. A team, made-up of a representative from the NAAB, AIA, NCARB and AIAS spends four days evaluating the schools curriculum, programs, faculty and student body. The challenge for this project was to create a space where a representative body of student work could be displayed, the team could meet comfortably, and an environment which communicates the spirit and vision of the school. And, naturally enough, it all had to be on a tight budget.
