Our first design presentation for a new Outpatient Clinic on the Veterans Administration's American Lake campus in Tacoma WA was also our first visit to this idyllic campus. With a picture postcard view of Mt. Rainier, a striking collection of Spanish Colonial Revival buildings and towering Douglas Fir trees, we almost felt we were on vacation. Originating in 1923, the campus was established after the Veterans Bureau was formed in 1921 to care for soldiers returning from World War I.
Walking the site in the right photo, above, are Abby Alway and ZGF project architect David Staczek. Below, six flags representing the six branches of the United States Military join the American flag in front of the campus administration building.
