The Roundhouse & Railyards in Evanston, Wyoming, the conference site for the 2015 AIA Wyoming summer conference, has undergone many changes since construction was completed in 1913.

In 1997 AIA Wyoming established the Architectural Education Foundation of AIA Wyoming (AEF-AIAWy) to help Wyoming students obtain an architectural education at National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) accredited schools of architecture. The AEF-AIAWy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and is administered by the board of directors, volunteer members of AIA Wyoming. Multiple scholarships are typically awarded each year to deserving Wyoming residents or Wyoming high school graduates.

With one foot planted in the past and one in the future, this project was conceived when the artist guild sought to relocate to the city center with a new brand identity. An historic warehouse structure located in a gritty former industrial district was selected — a locale that affords close proximity and engagement with other contemporary galleries.

Basecamp is conveniently located at the base of Teton pass, acting as a community hub where both locals and visitors fuel up with gas and provisions before heading west to Idaho or east into greater Wyoming. What was formerly an expected Exxon gas station highlighted with florescent lighting and ACT is now a modern mountain pit stop. Now offering a full selection of wines, meats, and cheeses, the multi-functional space is changing Wilson’s taste, WY. The onsite restaurant has tailored both a fast and slow dining experience that allows patrons to continue their day, or settle in for a glass of wine.

The project began when the owner of a small, underutilized office building resolved to transform the structure to fill the space.

Arecently widowed wife and daughter of a historic property developer resolved to continue a legacy. Confronted with significant life changes — the daughter newly married and living part-time in another state and the widow amid a national political career and spending significant amounts of time out of town — the two set out to redevelop the upper level of the idle structure into a shared living space for their intermittent stays while in town.

The Lone Pine compound is set at the base of the Teton Range in a resort development at the edge of an open valley. Sited to take advantage of open spaces and view sheds, the house is oriented to screen neighboring structures while capitalizing on near views of the adjacent ski resort and surrounding mountain ranges.

Northwest Denver was historically the industrial district of the city and had few public destinations or amenities. Though initially bleak in the day and vacant at night, it was blessed with the large spaces and cheap rents that attracted a young artist community. Over several years this neighborhood of creatives eventually coalesced into the River North (RiNo) Arts District.

The Queen’s Lane Pavilion is the fifth project that this firm has designed for one family on the same property over a twenty-five-year period. The compound of buildings represents the evolution of the family’s developing design aesthetic from the first structure, a traditional log home, to the most recent, a steel and glass pavilion.

The program is for a child care/learning center to accommodate 80 children ranging in age from infant to kindergarten that can be expanded to 160 child capacity in the future. The program includes occupational therapy for special needs children.
