UNIT MASONRY AWARDS GRANTED
Twelve Arizona buildings constructed in the past 10 years have been cited by the Arizona Masonry Guild, Inc. for excellence in the use of unit masonry.
The awards program was sponsored by the Arizona Masonry Guild and the Masonry Industry Program of Arizona to commemorate 10 years of association by the sponsors with the design professions and the construction industry. The awards program was open to all architects registered and residing in the State.
Paul Rosensteel, Executive Director of the Masonry Guild said awards were given in four categories of buildings for use of brick, block, stone or a combination of unit masonry materials.
The Phoenix firm of Guirey, Srnka and Arnold, AIA, won two awards for its design of the Planetary Research Building (stone) for Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff and the Superlite Office Building (block) in Phoenix. Engineers for both were Foltz, Hamlyn and Adam. Flagstaff Masonry was the mason contractor for the research building and Warner Masonry did the Superlite structure.
Other winners in the educational-institutional category were the new mathematics building (brick) at Arizona State University, designed by Michael and Kemper Goodwin, AIA, and the Maricopa County Health Department (block), designed by Bert Thorud AIA and James Plenert AIA.
