Pointview Elementary is among 57 buildings in the running for the Columbus chapter of the American Institute of Architects’ 2020 People’s Choice Award. 

People have until 11:59 p.m. Saturday to vote for the school, which is up for the award against office buildings, homes, hotels, churches, salons and businesses across central Ohio. Only one vote per day.

Designed by TRIAD Architects, Pointview’s Library Media Center was recently recognized for its innovative design in the Fall 2020 Learning By Design Architectural and Interior Design Awards of Excellence.

As part of a $5.5 million renovation/addition project to update Pointview’s open classroom design of the 1960s and 1970s, the school’s media center was placed at the center of the building, 10 classrooms were added and the main office and cafeteria were expanded. The project was completed in 2016.
