GSA announced 2022 Design Awards winners

The General Services Administration (GSA) has returned to their Design Awards program for the first time since 2016 with a selection of 19 recently-completed projects honored over their contributions to the architecture and design of buildings used by thousands of federal employees and citizens every day.

The Design Awards were established in 1990 thanks to the vision of the GSA’s former chief architect Ed Feiner, who passed away last year. This year’s awards recognized projects that were completed between 2016 and 2022. Winners were evaluated by a panel of industry experts who separated their designs into Honor Awards and Citation categories unified by a shared capacity to “celebrate the power of public buildings,” according to GSA Public Buildings Service Commissioner Nina Albert.

“I’m thrilled to honor the professionals who have contributed their time and talents to ensure that federal buildings nationwide are vibrant, contributing parts of their communities,”  GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan said in a statement. “Through these awards, we are reaffirming our belief that excellence in design means creating spaces in which the federal government can deliver government effectively while also providing great overall experiences for the people who work in and visit federal facilities.”

"This year as GSA’s Art in Architecture program marks its 50th anniversary, we have the opportunity to marvel at the incredible collection of artworks commissioned for federal buildings over the past five decades,” GSA Fine Arts Director Jennifer Gibson said finally.. “These artworks, which become part of the fabric of a community, are the result of an individual artist’s creative talent and vision. They are also evidence that artistic expression in our democratic society is something to cherish and celebrate.  It will be fascinating to see what the next 50 years bring and how artists continue to contribute to this federal art legacy.”

The full list of projects can be viewed below.
