A jury of industry experts selected the Tacomabased architecture firm as one of four grand prize award recipients during the Spring 2015 Learning By Design Architectural Showcase. The jury praised how the LEED-Gold Certified building weaves "function, sustainability, and interaction into the fabric of the campus." Clover Park Technical College officials dedicated the $24 million, 56,468-square-foot state-of-the-art facility on Sept. 20, 2013.

The design includes laboratories, classrooms and spaces that simulate current health care facilities. Clover Park Technical College's Health Sciences Building, located at 4500 Steilacoom Boulevard, in Lakewood, includes a number of sustainable design features, including water-efficient landscaping, a rooftop garden
with medicinal plants, staircases and structures built from recycled materials, and solar panels covering approximately a third of the roof.
