The Valdez Ferry Terminal was inspired by the new high tech ferry system introduced to Alaska.  It is a break from the traditional Alaskan wood structure ferry terminal.  The building is designed to reduce maintenance by using low maintenance materials and by providing a snow free (or reduced) zone under the large roof canopy.

I participated in all aspects of design for this project starting at Conceptual Design.  Just out of school, I relied a lot on the principal architect to coordinate other disciplines and technical details, but much of the design work, document development and construction administration were my responsibilities.
