The United States Military Academy at West Point is revered for its long tradition of excellence in educating and training cadets to be leaders. To design a new building for the historic campus, one must build upon past excellence and foster progressive, intelligent growth. The beautiful campus in the lower Hudson Valley New York has magnificent buildings by Bertram Goodhue and Paul Cret among others and there is a responsibility and challenge to provide new structures that are equal to such high standards.
