From the 2024 Architectural Portfolio: Arizona Western College, Matador Activity Center

The project was recognized in the Postsecondary Schools category for its outstanding design.
March 25, 2025

The Matador Activity Center at Arizona Western College in Yuma was designed as a vibrant hub to keep students engaged and encourage live-at-home students to stay on campus between classes. Offering versatile spaces for lounging, playing games, collaborating, and learning, the center enriches the campus experience and houses the TV and radio stations, providing hands-on learning opportunities in broadcast media. The center features large north-facing glass walls to maximize natural light and reduce heat gain, enhancing energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
