Wendel Selected as 2011 AIA Buffalo/NY Design Excellence Winner

At the 2011 American Institute of Architects Buffalo/Western New York Design Awards ceremony, Wendel was honored with an Honor Award (1st Place) for the design of the Inamori Kyocera Museum of Fine Ceramics at Alfred University. Wendel also received a Merit Award for our renovations and additions to School 205 – Riverside Institute of Technology.

In addition to these two great honors, Wendel employee Matt Zinski and his wife Michele received the Pro Bono Publico Award in Design Excellence from the Buffalo Architecture Foundation for their continuous work at the Capoeira Cultural Arts Center and Sol Rise Homestead project.

Competition was fierce with a total of twenty nine projects submitted for consideration from the area’s architectural firms. The projects were judged by a team of architects from Toronto.
