“

EV&A Architects has built a reputation over the many years for innovative experience design. It has been said, that Architecture is about experience: not only visual but also what you can touch, what you can feel. EV&A’s design team has an incredible intuitive feel for space making and always brings a well-rounded approach understanding that the essence and esthetic of the design need to coexist with the practical and viable. It has been a pleasure to work with the firm over the many years and I look forward to our continued collaboration in the future. Kevin Burke, President & CEO, Burke Construction Group, Inc.

Conference on Architecture. Edward Vance, FAIA, the 57th Chancellor of the College of Fellows, served the institute on a national level, while locally many of the firm team members served on the Tours Committee and volunteered to make the conference a success for Las Vegas.

September 9, 2019 2019 AIA Nevada Distinguished Service Jury AIA Nevada 1131 South Casino Center Blvd Las Vegas NV 89104 RE: Nomination of EV&A Architects for 2019 AIA Nevada Architecture Firm Award Dear Chair and Members of the 2019 AIA Nevada Distinguished Service Awards Jury, I am pleased to nominate EV&A Architects for the 2019 AIA Nevada Architecture Firm Award. This Las Vegas firm represents, with stature and skill, every attribute that we seek to advance in practice: excellence in design, unparalleled devotion to client and context, respect for our professional community, dedicated service to the Institute and an incredibly positive model for the value of architects and architecture in our communities. EV&A’s portfolio of commercial, hospitality and healthcare projects demonstrates the ability of modern design to respond to program and context. From the iconic Dynasty Hotel and Casino on Flamingo Boulevard to the vernacular interpretation of the Magnolia Bluffs Casino, from the strikingly welcoming LL Bradford Ambulatory Surgery Center to the forward-looking VA Community Living Center, and in the incredible range of their work, EV&A demonstrates fluidity in design thinking and passion for beauty. Garnering thirty-eight project design awards to date, their impact on the skyline and streetscape of our state and beyond is without question. Equally impressive is EV&A’s ‘on the boards’ portfolio. Their expansion of the World Market Center, with its over 1.3 million square feet of showroom space, welcomes the international furniture industry with dynamic and vibrant architecture. EV&A’s donation of pro bono services to Opportunity Village, UNLV's Center for Autism, and St. Jude's Ranch brings this high caliber of professional service and expertise to organizations typically low on resources for design projects. The firm has actively supported the service of its founder, Edward A. Vance, FAIA, as the 2019 Chancellor of the AIA’s College of Fellows—the first Chancellor from our State and second from our WMR region. Ed's tenure as Chancellor is the culmination of decades of AIA service beginning locally and extending nationally. His leadership was critical to AIA Nevada’s AIA 150 initiative, Envisioning Nevada's Future, resulting to alliances between AIA NV and the State legislature on strategies for economic diversification at a time when we needed it most. Ed also volunteers his time and firm resources as a force for bringing transparency and consistency to AIA award systems and leadership practices. EV&A’s principals and professionals volunteered for the A'19 Conference Tours of World Market Center, Bicycling Tour for Downtown and the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute. Firm personnel also support and advance the AIAS LV mentorship program and high school design competition while mentoring countless students and emerging professionals in practice and through community engagement. The Firm Award is one of the most significant awards AIA Nevada Chapter bestows—an honor reserved for firms with a sustained portfolio of distinguished architecture and persistent commitment to professional and community service. EV&A represents all these things and extends awareness of Nevada’s unparalleled professional talent and influence beyond our state’s borders. For all these reasons, I nominate EV&A for the 2019 AIA Nevada Architecture Firm Award. Sincerely,

Jonathan Sparer, FAIA Past President, AIA Nevada 2017 President, AIA Las Vegas WMR Pettigrew Legacy Fellow Nevada Silver Medal 2017 Co-Chair AIA Las Vegas A’19 Conference The American Institute of Architects AIA Nevada | AIA Las Vegas 1131 South Casino Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89104

“Design does not solely define the meaning of our work. People do.”

> Biography At EV&A Architects, our firm culture centers on design to lift and improve the human experience. Our twenty-two architects, interior designers, planners, technology specialists, and support professionals are dedicated to a collaborative ethos, allowing us to tackle the everchanging challenges of the built environment. We began in 2006 as a small but passionate team of creative professionals, and from these roots, we’ve grown into a mid-sized firm that uses the power of collaboration and discipline to deliver a diverse body of work from commercial and industrial projects to hospitality and retail venues to highly complex and sophisticated healthcare facilities. We have developed a reputation for working closely with our clients blending their business needs with design excellence in every project, regardless of size. We are simply committed to our mission of serving the profession while becoming our client’s trusted advisor. Licensed in 19 states our work has transcended architecture in the commercial, healthcare, and hospitality market sectors throughout and across the country. Our hospitality projects have changed the Las Vegas skyline and provided unique visitor experiences while our healthcare projects

incorporate evidence-based and holistic design with the latest in patient care practices. We are at the forefront of commercial office design leading the way for sustainable, technologically advanced, planning and design of Class A and industrial office campuses of the future. Our leadership is grounded in the profession of architecture and service to AIA. We encourage our staff to get involved in Institute programs to further develop their knowledge and skills and to contribute to the profession we love. EV&A financially supports our team members by paying all their AIA dues, including NCARB and licencing fees. The firm also believes in the importance of their interns completing their exams to become licensed professionals by removing as many barriers to licensure as possible. We not only reimburse the costs of examination upon successfully passing each section of the A.R.E. but encourage and support internal study groups to help employees pass their exams sooner. EV&A is big on work-life balance and puts its money where its time clock is. It is staffed to a level so that people aren’t routinely working late or long. Sure, things come up and you might have to work on the occasional weekend, but as long as you get your job done and we meet our client’s deadline, that’s all that really matters. Flex-time rules.

EV&A is committed to sustainability. With our work primarily in the private sector, achieving sustainable design in our projects becomes a challenge. Yet our commitment to sustainability is evidenced by our many LEED Certified/Certifiable buildings ranging from Certified to Silver, Green Globes rated facilities and EPA Energy Star rated buildings. Our long range goal is to bring sustainability to our private sector clients, creating environments that are effective and efficient not only for the present but for the next 50 years.

The firm donates thousands of manhours annually to various charities and not-for-profit organizations throughout Southern Nevada and the region. Some of these organizations include: • • • • • • •

ENT Consultants of Nevada

Ambulatory Surgery Center Las Vegas, Nevada

Size 12,000 SF Cost $2.5 MM

Surgery Centers can be comfortable and less stressful places when amenities provided within are designed to make you feel relaxed and safe. A patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stay is single in its purpose: getting you safely back to your family as quickly as possible. With thoughtful designs that focus on the family, this new clinic and surgery center provides every patient with a relaxed experience from the moment they check in until the time comes for them to head home to be with their families.

Completed in late 2014, this state of the art clinic and surgery center is one of the most advanced surgery centers in Las Vegas boasting three class â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? Operating Rooms. The strikingly modern facility provides the highest levels of specialized medical and surgical needs, all within a family-centered environment. Exteriors feature hi-performance glazing, roof top sky-lights, metal panels and locally quarried southwest stacked stone.

> Health Care “We understand that healthcare isn’t just about treating the patient, it’s about focussing on managing their wellness over their lifetime. That’s why we continuously strive to improve each healthcare project we begin with evidence based design techniques backed by our own research and development strategies.

Premiere Gaming

Magnolia Bluffs Natchez, Mississippi

Size 40,000 SF

Cost $25 MM

Sited just below the historic Roth Hill in Natchez MS, Magnolia Bluffs Casino was built over the Mississippi River to comply with State’s strict gaming regulations. The project is supported on nearly fifty steel piles giving patrons the feeling that they are floating on the river providing a real connection to the site often overlooked in typical casino designs. Utilizing locally produced materials and taking cues from the local vernaculars in the area, the design team collaborated with the Natchez Historical Society to recreate an early 20th century cedar mill that had been locat-

ed here nearly a century before. A municipal pedestrian river walk winds itself around the building’s riverside perimeter providing access to the casino’s “Back-Porch” amenities complete with fire pits and stunning views of the Mississippi and her majestic sunsets. Supplanting this project within an established and historically recognized neighborhood was an intricate process. The design team worked closey with the Natchez historical commission, held public workshops, and facilitated open houses throughout the design process.

Cost $90 MM

Emerging from within Downtown, this artful mixed use project reanimates a tough corner along Las Vegas’ Maryland Parkway cooridor with over 200 apartments for working families and includes the convenience of on-site parking, restaurants, office and retail spaces.

The building’s design resonates with the neighborhood’s distinctive character, enhances its’ vibrant mix of uses, and preserves affordability. Sustainability strategies are integral design goals to provide a healthier environment to live, work and play.

Building on the historic and unique qualities of the neighborhood, the mission of owner and developer Daniel Riceberg, an endeared community leader was to create and build a coalition of partnerships with the community and its neighboring businesses to embed the project into the fabric of the community from day one.

Amenities include private balconies, a roof garden with pool, day-lit corridors, structured parking, landscaped courtyards, and flexible spaces for offices, exercise and gatherings becoming a true community center for downtown. The project is scheduled for completion sometime in late 2021.

Ed is a man of strong design principles, passionate commitment, and a good sense of humor, and he is engaged in our profession at numerous levels. The distinguished firm EV&A Architects has been a key player in Southern Nevada and beyond for over 10 years. The firm was formed in 2006, and since then has developed an impressive and sustained portfolio specialized in the design of well-planned and future-ready workplaces, health centers/ healthcare projects, and large hotel and apartment buildings. The firm is strongly committed to sustainability, is licensed in 19 states, and works across the entire nation. In addition, EV&A Architects played a significant role during the recent Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;19 Conference on Architecture, and Mr. Ed Vance, FAIA, served the institute as the 57th Chancellor of the College of Fellows on a national level, while locally numerous members of the firm served on the Tours Committee and volunteered to contribute to the success of the conference. In addition, EV&A Architects is an active supporter of the UNLV School of Architecture, the local AIAS and AIA Chapters, as well as AIA regionally and nationally. The firm further volunteers it's time to juror design studios and mentor students in the SoA whenever possible.

Dear AIA Jury, I am both pleased and honored to support the nomination of EV&A Architects for the Nevada Chapter of the American Institute of Architects Firm Award. EV&A Architects has 13 years of continuous practice and has transformed the commercial and hospitality markets in the state of Nevada. The firm is known for elegant and sophisticated design solutions that improve communities and promote a more sustainable business environment. Some of the more recent projects include the UNLV Technology Park, the International Market Center Expo and the new Building D totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet, and multiple campuses for the Howard Hughes Corporation. Because of the design excellence exhibited by EV&A Architects they were awarded NAIOP’s Architecture firm of the Year for 2018. EV&A Architects, importantly, is not just a firm that focuses solely on architectural design. They are immersed in service to the institute. There are few architects in the community more committed to the promotion of the students and developing designers and architects than Edward Vance, FAIA. The passion and great designers and architects at EV&A allow Ed Vance to serve the AIA on a national level. The firm’s culture and practice provide the solid foundation for him and others to give of their time, expertise, and energy to further the mission of the organization. Ed has served nationally for the AIA as the College of Fellows Secretary in 2017, Vice-Chancellor in 2018 and Chancellor in 2019. He is the 57th Chancellor of that august body of architects – most importantly he is the first from Nevada. Ed also supports the AIAS chapter at UNLV by holding annual sketch classes to help students develop skills and abilities that they will need to be successful designers and architects. Edward Vance, FAIA has shown that he is the embodiment of the best things that make up the AIA. He founded his firm on and leads them by principles of service to the institute and their community. In turn, EV&A Architects give generously to other groups including the Las Vegas Rescue Mission, Opportunity Village, St. Jude’s Ranch for children and multiple other charitable organizations. They have evidenced that they understand the critical nature of strong communities. I believe EV&A Architects is led by an architect and gentleman of the highest character; in turn the firm exemplifies the finest attributes of the AIA, and for these reasons deserves to be recognized with the 2019 AIA Nevada Firm Award. I acclaim this nomination as one that is long overdue and well deserved. Sincerely,

October 2, 2019

Dear AIA Nevada Jury Members, As Executive Director of both the AIA Las Vegas and AIA Nevada Chapters of the American Institute of Architects for the past twenty-five years, I am honored to support the nomination EV&A Architects for the 2019 AIA Nevada Firm Award. The culture of any successful architecture firm depends upon the principal and the values and leadership he or she provides for that firm. Edward A. Vance, FAIA established EV&A Architects in 2006, and through vision, dedication and a profound love of the profession has directed its course to become recognized as an exemplary firm throughout the country. With a unified commitment to creating quality projects for their clients, supporting and advancing the profession of architecture, reinforcing and promoting the importance of the AIA on the local, state, regional and national levels, and joining with civic leaders and organizations to build stronger more resilient communities in Nevada, EV&A has become an exceptional example of a great architecture firm. Grounded in the profession and in service to the AIA, EV&A supports and encourages staff members to take an active role on all levels of the Institute, and to assist in this the firm pays all AIA dues on their behalf. Consequently, the firm is one of the most dependable resources for volunteers and committee members for providing AIA programs and events. As one example, when the Las Vegas Chapter hosted the A’19 Conference on Architecture earlier this year, it was the staff of EV&A who stepped up and volunteered to provide tour coordination and tour hosting services, and to provide a recognition and gratitude celebration for all volunteers and staff following the conference. EV&A also takes an active role in mentoring and supporting the UNLV School of Architecture and the AIAS Chapter members. In addition EV&A provides a pathway to licensure for interns in their firm by providing educational programs, advising and reimbursement of examination costs. EV&A’s work, as a collaborative design team has resulted in numerous recognitions and design awards from industry leaders and organizations. Their portfolio is impressive with award winning projects in commercial, hospitality, entertainment and healthcare projects. Further, the firm’s commitment to protecting and elevating the profession of architecture is documented by the number and the quality of leaders they have provided in support of the profession through the local and state Chapters of the AIA, and through their active encouragement of community outreach with organizations such as Opportunity Village, UNLV Center for Autism, Shade Tree Shelter, Back to School Support for Kids, and many others. Edward A. Vance, FAIA is a model architect who has created an exemplary architecture firm that inspires not only the members of that firm, but also the members of the AIA Las Vegas architectural community. It is for these reasons that EV&A was nominated and certainly deserves to be recognized. I hope you will agree and honor their exceptional contributions with the 2019 AIA Nevada Architecture Firm Award. Yours truly,
