Boise State University’s Center for the Visual Arts won several awards. In the 2020 Top Projects Awards it was selected as People’s Choice winner in the Public category and Top Project of the Year in the state of Idaho. In addition, the project won Best Overall Project in the 2020 Building Excellence Awards presented by the City of Boise.

Located on the west edge of campus along Capitol Boulevard, between the Morrison Center for the Performing Arts and the Micron Business and Economics Building, the University envisioned the Center for the Visual Arts as a pivotal cultural link and gateway between the campus and its community. The design serves as a critical gateway into campus, welcoming students as they head to class and community members as they pass along Capitol Boulevard. With an inspiring new identity, the building puts visual arts at Boise State on par with facilities at leading institutions and becomes a signature campus gateway reaching out to the community beyond.
