DeVos Place Honored with Grand Valley AIA Award

April 5th, 2006

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.–DeVos Place, the striking riverfront convention center in downtown Grand Rapids, has won a Grand Valley AIA “Building Design” award.

Architecture firms Ellerbe Becket and Progress AE designed the 750,000 sf structure to connect the riverfront to downtown Grand Rapids. The structure blends with the traditional architecture of its surroundings while pointing to the future. Materials and detailing complement the new Van Andel Arena, creating two civic building anchors at each end of downtown.

DeVos Place also has been honored by the Associated Builders and Contractors and the National Terrazzo & Mosaic Association.

An innovator since its founding in 1909, Ellerbe Becket is a leader in architecture, engineering and the construction industry with office locations worldwide.
