The GSA Design Awards recognizes demonstrations of excellence in the federal built environment. Winning entries highlight groundbreaking efforts by architects, engineers, landscape architects, urban designers, interior designers, artists, conservationists, and preservationists to create and safeguard the nation’s landmarks. Each awards cycle, the Design Excellence Program invites a group of leading private-sector experts to evaluate submissions according to the Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture. GSA often refers to these winning projects and the jury’s accompanying report to steer the quality of the agency’s future investments.
Previous winners are documented below, and the 15th cycle of the GSA Design Awards is tentatively scheduled for 2024. Please email GSA Design Awards with any questions.
