"Designed by Beau Clowney Architects, the 9,000-sf swim club will serve as a gathering place with a junior Olympic-sized family pool and an adult pool, a full-service kitchen, and a shaded bar with pool-side dining, and programming that caters to a variety of preferences for health, fitness, and recreation."

3. Reopening campus performance arts centers (DLR Group) 
"The theater craft is learned through a variety of settings, from the classroom with an open floor space used for movement, acting, or stage combat classes, to the scenic, prop, paint, and costume shops; rehearsal halls; and even the theater itself outside of public performances."

4. The Race to Make a Better Brand of Home Office (CityLab)
"The co-living company Common will have cities compete to host a housing and office project purpose-built to capture remote workers."
