This project and SmithGroup's renovation of
the entire residence hall also received an Award of Merit from the national Illuminating Engineering Society; an Award of Merit from the Detroit chapter of the IES; and an Interior Design Excellence Award from IIDA - Michigan.
In the adjacent booth of Carl Solway Gallery, the installation artist Ann Hamilton (who not long ago filled the Park Avenue Armory's
entire drill
hall) is in
residence, engaging visitors with the sort of interactive project that's become common at contemporary fairs like Frieze (coming to New York in May) and at the Armory, but that is rare here.
