The annual AIA Chicago Design Excellence Awards honor the best work by Chicago architecture firms found worldwide. Selected by a National jury, Lakeview Pantry and The Alice at Goodman Theatre were both recognized at Designight on Friday, October 13th at Navy Pier’s Grand Ballroom.

Jurors awarded Lakeview Pantry a Distinguished Building Award, stating “This whole project, the facade included, is about the life of the building as well as the program, and the architects have created a nice balance of each.” The Alice at Goodman Theatre, which received an Interior Architecture Award, was applauded for thoughtful details and one juror noted “I am emotionally attached to this small theater.”
