“The modernization of the dominant neo-Georgian style is understood as the architectural manifestation of how public policy evolves,” it says. “Both architecture and public policy inherently require traditional foundations and new thinking. In particular, at this point in time, public policy requires more transparency, which here translates directly into architecture.”

AIA Nebraska honors two LEO A DALY projects

Two LEO A DALY projects earned merit awards at the 2024 AIA Nebraska Excellence in Design competition.
The General John W. Vessey Readiness Center in Arden Hills, Minnesota, was cited in the architectural category.
And the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum earned the 25-year award, as well as the people’s choice award in the same category.
“Across markets and geography, LEO A DALY projects make our communities better,” said Omaha studio Managing Principal Chris Johnson. ““These projects showcase the lasting power of architecture to create better places and spaces designed for people.”
The 149,735-SF National Guard Readiness Center serves as the home for the 34th Infantry Division. Readiness centers, historically known as “armories,” have dynamically shifted, reflecting the evolving needs and expectations of today’s service members. To accommodate those needs, this design breaks the historic mold of a standard readiness center, combining beauty with high-performance design. Anchored by a central hub, public spaces are designed to invite community members, dignitaries and the families of service members to participate in parades, ceremonies, and other public events. Gallery-like interiors, sculptural stairs, connection to the landscape, and art enhance the user experience of all who enter.
Opened in 1959, the SAC museum was designed to hold an impressive collection of rotating vintage aircraft, previously located at Offutt Air Force Base. The facility, completed in early 1998, incorporated 31 aircraft from the Cold War Era into one 275,000-SF structure. The museum’s design objective was to provide a dramatic, yet simple environment that honored the lives and deaths of service members who fought for our country. All 31 aircraft exhibits are housed in two unobstructed, column-free display hangars, allowing visitors to view the entire collection from the museum’s balcony as well as the ground level. This allows for flexible rearrangement and rotation of aircraft. Twenty-five years after its construction, this museum stands proud as an icon of the greater Omaha area community.
