AWB receives Team of the Year Award from El Centro de la Raza

Architects Without Borders-Seattle receives El Centro de la Raza’s Team of the Year Award, accepted by board member Dave Helton at a ceremony in December. AWB is recognized for two projects for El Centro. The first was the design of a renovation of the exterior stairways. The design was sensitive to the historic features of the building while insuring that the stairs are safe for the building’s many users. This year, AWB held a design charette and provided design service for the renovation of a large conference room. Mortenson Construction partnered with AWB for the construction of both projects with largely donated materials and volunteer labor.
