The Morrison Family Education CASHORE PHOTOS: MATT and Outreach Pavilion, the inaugural building at the University’s Linked Experimental Ecosystem Facility (ND-LEEF) at St. Patrick’s County Park, received a 2015 Citation Award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Indiana. Constructed in October 2014, the pavilion is the first University structure to receive a commendation from AIA Indiana Design Awards. The Morrison Pavilion was recognized in AIA’s new construction category for projects costing less than $1 million. The four- member AIA Jury commented on the pavilion: “We were impressed with every detail and choice made in the design of this structure. The decision to orient the building along the summer solstice, and to situate it with its back to the approach, a simple swath of mown meadow, was poetic.” The pavilion also received “high commendation” for Excellence in Design in Community Engagement from the International Network of Traditional Architecture and Urbanism at its World Congress event in London last spring. The Midwest Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture and Classical America recognized the pavilion with an Acanthus Award in November. “We are very proud of the As the centerpiece of ND-LEEF, recognition that the pavilion has the Morrison Family Education and received, most notably for being a Outreach Pavilion offers a year-round structure that both demonstrates outdoor classroom and outreach and celebrates the critical destination located 5 miles from relationship between the built and campus at St. Patrick’s County Park. natural environment,” said Aimee “St. Joseph County Parks strive Buccellato, assistant professor of to promote understanding and architecture. “It stands — quite stewardship of the community’s literally — for what we at the natural and cultural heritage, and Environmental Change Initiative the Morrison Pavilion expands our stand for: pairing research with ability to provide new experiences for outreach that will have the greatest our park visitors, school groups and possible impact while causing adult learners,” said Evie Kirkwood, the least amount of harm to the director of St. Joseph County Parks. environment.” “We are honored to collaborate with Buccellato designed the pavilion the University of Notre Dame and using traditional timber framing thrilled that AIA is recognizing the construction methods.
