The Greenland School District’s Administration Office Building in Greenland, Arkansas, won a Merit Award in Architecture during the Fay Jones School’s 2024 Alumni Design Awards competition. The alumni on the design team are Amanda Burcham (M.Des. ’23, B.I.D. ’14), Sarah McElroy (B.Arch. ’01), Josh Siebert (B.Arch. ’02) and Chris M. Baribeau (B.Arch. ’03). The team is with Modus Studio in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The Greenland School District Administration Office design honors the mid-century architecture of the existing campus while creating a community beacon and healthy workspace for the district's administration. Its two-sided entry celebrates both a pedestrian approach and conventional automobile arrivals.
“This small project is very well done. It feels cohesive, and none of the elements seem out of place,” the jury said. “The design language from steel, brick, glass and concrete materials is consistent inside and outside.”
