Designed by Jahn, the Pritzker Military Museum and Library in Somers, Wisconsin, is a purpose-built facility that brings together precision, functionality, and public engagement in a single, cohesive environment. A disciplined 36-foot structural grid organizes the building, utilizing an exposed, steel-glass system that creates a tight envelope, preserving the thermal stability required for long-term collection care.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Mike McCormick, Vice President of Facilities Management and Development at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, David Hart, President and CEO of Steinberg Hart, and Roger Krulak, Founder and President of FullStack Modular. They discuss the Student Housing Program at CalPoly located in San Luis Obispo, CA. 

You can see the project here as you listen along.

California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo is confronting a challenge shared by many growing institutions in California: a rapidly rising student population paired with an increasingly constrained local housing market. Nestled in a highly desirable coastal town, the university has limited ability to expand enrollment without adding thousands of new beds on campus—an imperative driven not just by institutional goals, but by the simple fact that the surrounding city cannot absorb additional demand. In response, Cal Poly has launched one of the most ambitious student housing initiatives in the state, a program that will deliver 4,200 new beds through a landmark collaboration with FullStack Modular. The effort aims to redefine how campus housing is designed and built, relying on an industrialized construction strategy that promises speed, quality, and long-term affordability.

Suspended 270 meters––that’s over 800 ft––above the valley floor and integrating a geomechanical design, its translucent capsules cling to a sheer rock wall—an experience once reserved for elite climbers, now transformed into a rare encounter with Patagonia’s raw magnificence.

You can see the project here as you listen along.

Limberlost Place asserts itself on Toronto’s East Bayfront as a paradigm of contemporary sustainable architecture—an elegant synthesis of structure, performance, and civic expression. In addition to sustainability woven into every layer of the design, the structure employs a beamless system with exposed glulam columns and CLT slab bands that establish a rational yet refined structural grid, eliminating the need for deep beams and enabling large, column-free spans.

Snøhetta’s design for the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s Powell Hall expansion reinterprets a century-old landmark through an architectural language of continuity and contrast.
