AIA|LA Honors the Audrey Irmas Pavilion with 2022 Building Team of the Year Award
MATT project named AIA|LA’s Building Team of the Year for second consecutive year
In announcing the 2022 Presidential Honorees, AIA Los Angeles named Wilshire Boulevard Temple’s Audrey Irmas Pavilion as the winner of the 2022 Building Team of the Year Award.
MATT is honored to have been the general contractor on the past two Building Team of the Year Award projects (2021: Academy Museum of Motion Pictures). Congratulations to the entire project team on this incredible achievement!
“The Building Team of the Year Award acknowledges the efforts of a variety of entities successfully working together in the formation of a significant contribution to the built environment of the Los Angeles area.”
“The Audrey Irmas Pavilion is a striking new building in the Wilshire Boulevard Temple’s Glazer Family Campus, designed by OMA and completed in collaboration with Gruen Associates. Located in the heart of Koreatown and directly adjacent to the Temple’s beautifully restored, historic sanctuary, the AIP serves as a multi-purpose event space for both the congregation and the surrounding city. The pavilion forges physical and visual connections with the sanctuary and school, and hosts a variety of gathering spaces inside and outside of the building, including a fully-occupiable landscaped roof, which highlights the AIP’s intimate relationship with the sanctuary and provides panoramic views of the LA basin.”
