This training center for national sales staff is a dramatic showcase of the creative possibilities of the client's products. Inventive use of drywall, plaster and ceiling products transformed a difficult space into a workplace that the jury described as "thoughtful, interesting, and sophisticated." The architect's design concept was "controlled chaos." Training rooms rotate and collide in plan so that various ceiling products — metal pan, acoustical tile, and slat systems — overlap. In the café an undulating ceiling system, one of the older product lines, floats under the edge of a new product that creates an umbrella-like effect in the center. Columns are wrapped in canted conical shapes to demonstrate plaster's potential, and drywall surfaces are painted with bold, richly colored patterns.
