CONGREGATION RODEPH SHALOM KieranTimberlake
GOLD MEDAL WINNER - BUILT CATEGORY
Rodeph Shalom is the oldest Ashkenazic congregation in the Western Hemisphere. While the historic building is well-loved, the lack of interior connection between program spaces, coupled with a somewhat foreboding and largely opaque exterior, undermined the current vision for a welcoming and open place. The addition offered the opportunity to improve the historic building through connectivity and legibility, while introducing a contemporary architectural character of welcome and luminosity.

The Ohio State University was founded with agriculture at its essence. As a landgrant university, the OSU Waterman Lab Master Plan envisions three new buildings that each uniquely embody the fundamental objective to conduct agricultural research and deliver knowledge and practical information to its students, faculty, and local community of farmers and consumers. The Food Security Collaborative, one of the three new buildings, will develop transformative solutions to create greater food security through improvements in agricultural vitality. The facility will contain a 24,000 SqFt food processing lab and headhouse to support the 80,000+ SqFt of growing space for both research and production.
