Sartan, Inc. Masolite Retail Design Award Fifth Third Bank Owner: Fifth Third Bank Architect: MSKTD & Associates, Inc. Mason: Purdy Masonry Supplier: Edgewood Building Supply It was important for the Fifth Third Bank and the community that the design fit within the architectural context of the district.

Excellence in Masonry Culver Academy Roberts Hall of Science _ Dicke Hall of Mathematics Owner: Culver Educational Foundation Architect: Architecture Design Group Mason: Ziolkowski Construction Inc. Supplier: Carter's Concrete Block The Culver Military Academy is one of the most prestige's private academies in the country. The goal was and has always been to blend the old of the campus with the most modern facilities for their students. The building fits nicely into the context of the campus and adjoining quad. While the building takes a traditional form, it adds a certain contemporary flair to it, which at first one questions whether it is new of old. But as you look at the additional detailing of the project you sense there has been some understanding and both restraint as well as provision for a quality level of detailing that gives this building a special character. Commercial Design Award Republic Services Owner: Republic Services, Inc. Architect: Arc DESIGN Mason: Warren Masonry, Inc. Supplier: Schuster's Building Products an Oldcastle company The Republic Services Administration Building was designed and constructed using 5800 Limestone Colored groundface Trendstone Plus Units, 4000 Brick Red Trendstone Plus Units and 10,000 Burnt Sienna and Sierra Buff Split Face Units.
