Allison Architects in Little Rock received a 2015 American Institute of Architects Gulf States Region Merit Award for Hillside Auditorium on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville.
The award was presented at the 2015 National Conference of the American Institute of Architects in Atlanta, and recognizes built works of distinction by architects from Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.
“We are very honored to receive this recognition and greatly appreciate the partnership we have created with the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville to support their building and sustainability initiatives,” said John Allison, president of Allison Architects. “We always strive to design beautiful, sustainable and functional spaces and we are grateful for this recognition from our peers.”
Hillside Auditorium, which is located near the historic Chi Omega Greek Theater on the UA campus, features 487-seat and 290-seat auditoria. The auditorium was designed to recede into the hillside, and vegetated roofs allow for the continuation of natural topography. Along with the planted roofs, the building features an efficient exterior envelope and high-efficience building system. It was awarded a LEED Silver certificate for sustainable design.
