Thompson Library Wins Recchie Design Award
October 10th, 2009
The Thompson Library renovation and expansion is the 2009 James B. Recchie Design Award recipient.
“This is an exceptional project from an architectural and urban design standpoint, “said Nancy Recchie, sister of the late James Recchie for whom the award is named. “With its east/west access, the building is now truly the physical center of campus. The jury was also impressed by the exquisite detailing, including the Ohio white oak paneling and cantilevered staircase,” she added.
The renovation was designed by Acock Associates Architects, LLC, Gund Partnership and MSI Design.
The award is given to projects that promote historic preservation with quality design by the Columbus Landmarks Foundation. Finalists for this year’s award included Grange Insurance Audubon Center, Huntington Park, the Lincoln Theatre and the Buggyworks.
