Pittsburgh Corning Contest
Circle of Design Excellence Award Winner

 

And the winner is.... Hillman Cancer Center.

Hillman Cancer Center “We selected the glass block to create a visually stunning separation between the research and clinical pavilions. It enabled the transmission of natural daylight into the labs and treatment areas while still maintaining the appropriate degree of privacy. The use of glass block greatly contributed to the Hillman Cancer Center’s artful expression of both the functional and emotional needs of the clinical pavilion dedicated to healing, and the opportunity for interaction and flexibility of a research pavilion dedicated to finding a cure.” – Mihai Marcu, AIA, President,

Sponsored by Pittsburgh Corning, this program recognizes those designs where glass block forms a prominent architectural feature of a building, either interior or exterior.
