The public-private partnership project Falcon Hill that is ongoing at Hill Air Force Base was featured recently in The Military Engineer. Please check out the excellent article here.

The newest Architectural Nexus project has recently been completed. The Clarus Vision Clinic is located in Murray, Utah. The following describes the concept behind the design:

“As the human eye is able to open and close to control light, focus and offer protection, the concept behind the design and flow of this project was to provide focus and control while, in contrast, allowing views and openness to both inside and out.  The new clinic was designed to improve patient flows and capacity for the owner-physician.  The space includes 9 exam rooms, a retail optical space and a Lasik Procedure room with observation.  The unique layout provides a circular patient flow with excellent control and visibility for the physician assistants.  Double entrances in the exam rooms improve the physicians’ efficiency and allow the physicians, assistants and other support staff to remain “behind the scenes”, improving patient experience.  The orientation of the building on the site allows for good views to nature, provides excellent orientation with the outside, and subdues the daylighting desired for patients whose eyes are sensitive to light.  The design, detailing and material selection for the exterior envelope give a “farm like” feel that ties in to the site’s original use and references the working farm /public park across the street.”

The latest report from BYU Law details the completeion of the new Fritz B. Burns Memorial Lounge, designed by Architectural Nexus, in the law building at BYU:

“BYU Law celebrated the completion of the new Fritz B. Burns Memorial Lounge on October 22, 2014, with members of the Law School community, the Fritz B. Burns Foundation Board, Architectural Nexus, and Jacobsen Construction. Dean James Rasband commented on the many hands that came together to accomplish the project and expressed gratitude for the funding provided by the Fritz B. Burns Foundation. As part of the school’s campaign to “bring light to the law building,” Dean Rasband expressed the hope that the beautiful new and light-filled Burns Memorial Lounge would be a place where students would gather to discuss, debate, and learn together. “A big project, an important project, requires a lot of creative work and thinking from a lot of people,” Dean Rasband said. “Frankly it’s one of the things I’ve always loved about law.” In addition to Dean Rasband’s comments, Student Bar Association President Anthony Loubet expressed the gratitude of the student body to the many groups involved in the construction project.”
