AACC Students Win Awards for Architecture and Interior Design

Seven (AACC) students won awards in a competition sponsored by the American Institute of Architects Chesapeake Bay Chapter.

“This year the chapter gave out more awards than any previous year, a fact that the judges said was due to the tremendous quality of the projects submitted. We are extremely proud of our students,” said Michael D. Ryan, chair of the AACC architecture and interior design department, in a release.

Ryan added that participation in award programs helps promote students for increased job, transfer and scholarship opportunities. 

Two students received the top honor award:

• Amy Frank of Baltimore and Adam J. Brott of Glen Burnie won for their Wasatch Ranger Station project, which judges said featured a design that "allowed viewers to experience the surroundings."

Four students won merit awards:

• Joseph Barrick of Catonsville won for his proposed Observation Pavilion located on Assateague Island that explored the relationship between internal and external spaces; Daniel Reynolds of Crofton for his Contemporary Community that presented a creative reinterpretation of the single-family housing community; and Corey Stein of Crofton and Humberto Coronado of Laurel for their Wasatch Ranger Station design that provided a strong image, a sense of scale and rich spatial features.

One student won a citation award:

• Robbie Lang of Annapolis won an award for his proposed Assateague Island Observation Pavilion, designed to be part of the landscape.

Winners will be recognized at the chapter's upcoming Design Awards Gala.
