This project consists of two modern canopies that frame the entrance to the pavilion along with a public restroom facility integrated into the parking structure below. The design team developed a concept to integrate the public restrooms within the underground parking structure without distracting from the main entry points of the museum. The two shade structures not only provide shade and common gathering grounds for visitors, but also function as landmarks to welcome visitors to the museum in addition to framing views of the Franklinton landscape adjacent to the site.

Jury Statement: The Scioto Peninsula Cultural District exemplifies how civic leaders have a catalytic impact, changing the economic and cultural direction of a city through collaborative development. The District reclaimed and comprehensively revitalized the riverfront, incorporating world-class museums, parks, and trails, and stimulating adjacent development.
Last of three parking structures supporting Grandview Yard, this five level (one below grade and three elevated decks) building handles 1,469 cars for 955 and 995 Yard Street, and future condo and apartment dwellers.
It all started with one project and a move to Columbus. With over a decade of collaboration with MKSK and Nationwide Realty Investors, our Studio’s principals have designed many of the districts transformational projects.
