Exciting News! 🏆 One of our latest projects, the Barkley Regional Airport (PAH) New Terminal, has won a 2024 AIA Minneapolis Merit Award! This AIA Minnesota award recognizes architectural excellence that goes beyond design—emphasizing public interest and the diverse influences shaping a building. The new terminal, a symbol of transformation, serves as a “front porch” for Western Kentucky, showcasing the region’s hospitality, community pride, and connection to nature. It features art inspired by Paducah’s UNESCO Creative Cities designation, blending historic charm and modern design. With spacious, flexible areas and cutting-edge technologies that focus on passenger well-being, it ensures a comfortable and healthy environment.

Wrapping up last week’s 2024 Special Parks District Forum hosted by Three Rivers Park District, Alliiance team members Amber Sausen, Ken Sheehan, and Paul Anderson attended the forum’s final event hosted at Hyland Hills.

The Minnesota Design Team (MDT) and Amber Egofske, Alliiance architect and the new co-chair elect of MDT, visited the Cuyuna Lakes Region communities of Crosby, Ironton, Deerwood, and Cuyuna to help address challenges they are facing due to tourism growth. The team listened to locals discuss their experiences with current issues and their aspirations for their towns, then developed design solutions for the communities to review and implement.
