Arizona State University Hayden Library Reinvention

Arizona State University Hayden Library Reinvention

The Hayden Library Reinvention transforms a place for books into a place for people, reflecting the diversity, history, environmental stewardship, and scholarship of the university and greater Arizona. The building’s reuse retains the embodied energy and value of its structure and reveals the character of the building in a new light for a new time. Reinvention allows for a design respectful of context, history, and tradition, while showcasing new and future uses and creating welcoming, equitable environments, reconnecting itself to its place.

Coconino County Medical Examiner’s Facility

Coconino County Medical Examiner’s Facility

The Coconino County Medical Examiner’s Office investigates violent, unexpected, and suspicious deaths to support the critical work of law enforcement and help grieving families in the untimely passing of loved ones. Due to the age and capacity of the former facility, Coconino County worked with Kinney Construction Services on the adaptive re-use of an existing single-story masonry block building for a new office to better serve local and neighboring jurisdictions. Due to its strategic design, it received a Gold rating from the Coconino County Sustainable Building Program.
