The Lewis-Clark State College Schweitzer Career and Technical Education Center received a Learning by Design magazine 2022 Outstanding Project award for the design.
The building won the Outstanding Award for Specialized Education Facility New Construction/Addition for Career-Technical/Vocational Education.
The building designers, Integrus Architecture, of Spokane, submitted an application for the award earlier this year. Leone & Keeble Incorporated, of Spokane, and Kenaston Corporation, of Lewiston, were the contractors. Integrus noted the design’s transparent spaces to follow the “connect learning to life” motto that allows students to see the practical use of piping, electricity and HVAC systems. The application also showed the building’s spaces for lounging, breakout shops and labs. The lumber and steel was locally sourced and outdoor views showcase the area’s farmland culture.
The $27 million Schweitzer CTE center located near the new Lewiston High School, opened in January 2021.
