Three healthcare projects have received top honors in the American Architecture Awards. Introduced in 1994, the awards are presented annually by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design, together with The European Center for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and Metropolitan Arts Press.
The program is one of the museum’s most important public education outreach initiatives produced throughout the year―to both the museum’s U.S. and international audience. The American Architecture Awards are dedicated to the recognition of excellence in architecture and urbanism in the United States.
The awards, recognizing both built and unbuilt projects, pay tribute to new developments in design and underscore the directions and understanding of cutting-edge processes consistent with today’s design thinking. This year’s winning healthcare projects are:
Western State Forensic Hospital | Lakewood, Washington, USA | 2025
Inova Health Center Oakville | Alexandria, Virginia, USA | 2024
