We are excited to announce the PBDW-designed Cooke School & Institute received an Honorable Mention from the 2022 Vanceva® World of Color AwardsTM competition. “This program honors architects, designers and laminators around the world whose awe-inspiring architectural design projects demonstrate creativity and forward-thinking uses of colored glass made with the Vanceva color interlayer system.” (Eastman Advanced Interlayers) Cooke School and the PBDW design team lead by Senior Associate Erica Gaswirth, wanted color to feature prominently throughout the project. Colored slot windows enliven the front and back facades bringing a joyful presence to the neighborhood. On the interior, colored glass, walls, and floors create unique combinations for each classroom, which help the special needs students identify their classrooms. We are honored to have been recognized, and congratulations to all the winners! To learn more about the project, follow the LINK IN THE BIO.
