TUSTIN FAMILY & YOUTH CENTER- GOLD NUGGET AWARD
BACKGROUND
Earlier this year Dougherty & Dougherty and the City received the 1998 "Gold Nugget"
award for the design of the Tustin Family & Youth Center at the Western Builders Show,
Pacific Coast Builders Conference. Partner Betsey Olenick Dougherty will be on hand to
present the award to the City. She has over sixteen years of experience in the design of
child development centers, public schools, and college and university buildings.
Dougherty & Dougherty is an award-winning architectural firm exclusively involved
with public projects. They were recently featured in the Los Angeles Times for the
environmental sensitivity of their designs. The firm is well known for its creative
approach to design solutions,'particularly in the adaptive reuse of buildings.
Previously, the Tustin Family and Youth Center was selected as a 1997 California Parks
and Recreation Society (CPRS) Award winner in the Facility Design Division. The
unconventional look of the building was cited for its "kid friendly" atmosphere. In
addition, the Center was honored with the 1997 CPRS Award of Excellence for Facility
Design and Park Planning. Statewide, only one recreational facility is singled out for this
prestigious award.
