having that like kind of visible face of change, you know, showing that something is new, making the building look and feel more welcoming and inviting, while also demonstrating the importance of high performance in design, that sort of encompasses many aspects of that priority.

Rebecca SharkeyGUEST
The mass timber stair I had mentioned is a unique and visible feature that causes visitors to notice and get excited about that design feature mass timber is becoming more and more common which is great but it's often used in building structures it's not seen in these kind of unique interior elements as much.

Rebecca SharkeyGUEST
So our hope is that there's excitement about the design of it and that causes people to be curious.

Rebecca SharkeyGUEST
We added an exhibit space, so there's galleries and there are gathering spaces, for programming.

Rebecca SharkeyGUEST
So many aspects of the program and the spaces that we created in the building are also about teaching and sharing ideas and talking about innovation and the future of the profession.

Rebecca SharkeyGUEST
There is a self-guided walking tour in the building that the AIA worked with a consultant in our team to really have teaching moments throughout the building that can engage with visitors on all levels.
