2021 Architecture Citation Award
The new Liberal and Creative Arts Building at San Francisco State University is the first new academic building completed at SF State in 25 years. The building is a state-of-the-art testament to the strength of SFSU’s program, slated to prepare the coming generations to lead and evolve the media landscape.
The jury enthused that this building sets a standard of restraint in the exterior spaces while accommodating interior learning spaces that focus on the evolving needs of media arts students.
