Norm Asbjornson Hall Wins AIA Award; USGBC-Montana Award

December 31, 2019

Norm Asbjornson Hall project has received the AIA Montana Honor Award for design distinction.  The Honor Award is the single highest design award for the state of Montana and only given to one project.  It was in competition with over 43 others.  The jury, who are all distinguished architects from the Seattle area, noted the project is one of the most innovative and forward-thinking buildings they reviewed.

The lead juror stated that "if you find yourself anywhere in Montana, this building is a must-see.  After spending several hours in the building she noted the student collaboration and innovation is palpable in every corner of the facility."

In 2019, "The Norm" also won the USGBC-Montana award for Innovation.  Associate Vice President for University Services at Montana State University Dan Stevenson accepted the award in Missoula at the USGBC Member Summit.
