Overview
The architects' client was fortunate enough to have earned hundreds of trophies. These tokens of achievement created a design challenge that prompted an interesting design solution. "The wall of trophies is brilliant," one juror remarked about the multi-story, translucent display case for statuettes, loving cups and other prizes. The jurors liked the "good environmental graphics and industrial design" employed by the architects in showcasing the University of Cincinnati's athletic and academic success.
