OLIN Plaza Wins GSA Award
A.J. Celebrezze Federal Building Plaza in Cleveland
OLIN‘s plaza for the A.J. Celebrezze Federal Building in Cleveland, OH has been selected to receive a Citation for Landscape Architecture from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). According to Principal-in-Charge Lucinda Sanders, the project was an opportunity to balance the need to create a safe plaza for a federal building in the post 9/11 era with the desire to create welcoming spaces porous enough for public use. To most fully realize the potential of the challenging site exposed to the winds of Lake Erie, OLIN and Fleischman Architects collaborated with wind consultant Buro Happold, lighting designer L’Observatoire International, artist Pae White and engineer Desman Associates to create a place that will soon become one of the most popular destinations in downtown Cleveland.
