The Woodwork Institute selected Northwestern Design as the winner of the Ralph B. McClure Craftsmanship Award for exceptional craftsmanship and installation of architectural millwork for the Stanford Hoover Office Building and Conference Center.

The Stanford Hoover Office Building and Conference Center is located in the heart of the Stanford University campus, adjacent to the Hoover Tower. The 55,000-square-foot conference center is a famed institution designed to host high-profile, world-renowned speakers and retreats as well as housing office space for management and operations. It is not only a functional space for large gatherings and day-to-day business, but the facility is aesthetically pleasing for those who have an appreciation for intriguing design and a love for rich wood tones.

The project interior spaces are an impressive display of fine wood craftsmanship with stunning quarter-sliced walnut veneer wall paneling and walnut lumber trim. The featured spaces include a glass-walled arcade, Blount Hall (a 440-seat dining area and multipurpose room), the 400-seat Hauck Auditorium and a welcoming pavilion.

The areas inside the Hoover Institution demonstrate an engaging visualization of rich earth tones in both walnut veneer and lumber components. The design elements and rich color tones are well utilized within these large areas. Level 2 office spaces combine walnut solid wood jambs, casings and window sills. Break rooms incorporate functional plastic laminate casework, with durable engineered solid surface stone countertops.

NWD is honored to receive recognition for this project.
