“Winners of the 2nd Annual Universal Design Awards reveal how the next generation of designers are rethinking accessible architecture,” says Architizer in an article published on March 15, 2022.

The article highlights work produced by third-year University of Arizona undergraduate architecture students in a studio sponsored by Ascension Wheelchair Lifts. This is the second year of the sponsorship that provides technical insight as well as financial awards to students.

  • Bisbee Mercado by Alexis Campion
  • Bisbee Art Center by Andy Demetriou
  • Apiledo Theatre Company by Brandon Willmon
  • Bisbee Sculpture Park & Museum by Ralph Mersiowsky
