"Containing mock-up and work areas, welding booths, buring tables, a teacher's lounge, director's office, material storage and bathrooms, the training facility obviously fulfills its purpose. But moreso, as a part-time home for the apprentices in the three-year training to become ornamental ironworkers, the building around them acts as a three-dimensional example of what they can attain with contemporary means. This sythesis of the client's goals and design no doubt helped it earn 2004 AIA New York Architecture Design Award for Daniel Goldner Architects."
