Traditional Building, June 2011, announces the 2011 Palladio Awards for Excellence in Traditional Commercial, Institutional, and Public Architecture. Glavé & Holmes Architecture, Richmond, VA, is the Palladio Award winner in the category of New Design & Construction – more than 30,000 square feet for the Carole Weinstein International Center, University of Richmond, Richmond, VA. Traditional Building features the International Center project.
The Glavé & Holmes firm has become a great friend of the JU architecture program. After hiring Nickolas Coile, M.Arch’05 (and credited in Traditional Building‘s feature article) , Glavé & Holmes has returned frequently to JU to recruit interns: JoAnna (Hastings) Landers, M.Arch.’10; Jaclyn Miller, B.A.A.S.’08; and Michael Gibbs, M.Arch.’11. Kevin Svensen, M.Arch.’09, joined the firm’s staff in 2009, where he has worked on projects for Christopher Newport University. At Christopher Newport University, Glavé & Holmes has had a central part in re-fashioning this institution for an auspicious, new role in higher education; this is an extraordinary and once-in-a-lifetime project that is expected to be published in years to come.
Randall Holmes, a graduate of the University of Virginia School of Architecture, was a project manager in the Charlottesville office of Jaquelin Robertson (Driehaus Prize ’07); importantly, Jaq was also then the dean of the School. I met Randy at Trinity Presbyterian Church and, after Robertson returned to New York and Randy moved to the Glavé firm in Richmond, I worked for the successor firm to Robertson’s in Charlottesville, then Train and Spencer Architects.
Nickolas Coile has worked to build the connection between Glavé & Holmes Architecture and Judson. In consequence, Randy has become a great friend of the Judson architecture program and an active support to the curriculum concentration in Traditional Architecture and Urbanism. CCM.
