Oakton's Skokie Pavilion Wins Architectural Honor
Ross Barney Architects is the winner of an award from the Chicago chapter of the American Institute of Architects for the Art, Science, and Technology Pavilion at Oakton Community College, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie, officials announced. The AIA Chicago 2008 Design Excellence Awards issued Ross Barney a “citation of merit” in the Distinguished Building category for its work on the Pavilion, which opened in January 2006.
A total of 42 awards in four categories were presented Oct. 24 in ceremonies at Chicago’s Navy Pier. Jurors reviewed a total of 379 entries to determine the winning designs.
The 59,000-square-foot Pavilion is home to Oakton’s programs in architecture and construction management, art and graphic design, computer networking and systems, computer technology and information systems, electronics, engineering, and manufacturing. A $75,000 Illinois Clean Energy Fuel Foundation grant allowed Ross Barney to incorporate numerous energy efficient features into the Pavilion design, including building materials that reduce heat transfer; occupancy sensors for lighting and temperature control; low flow technologies to reduce water consumption; and bamboo flooring and other sustainable materials.
