Last week, AIA Kentucky awarded the Eminence Gym a 2026 AIA Kentucky Citation and the 2026 AIA People’s Choice Award.
For the Citation, see a snapshot of the jury’s comments in this post. Among them: “The designers’ use of modest materials, simple forms, and well-arranged spaces permits an inwardly focused athletics program to also embrace the street with a welcoming experience.”
The People’s Choice Award was even better: It was selected through a public poll (that’s you!) over all other 2026 award submissions!
Project leaders Anna Finneran and Sarah Dalga accepted the awards for Studio Kremer. We were joined at the event by representatives of the whole project team: Eminence Independent Schools, KPFF, CARMAN, Kerr-Greulich Engineers, and General Contractor FW Owens.
We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the vision for and ex*****on of this project, and proud to see the Eminence Gymnasium recognized for its architectural and community impact.
