Importance of site to community: The project site is located in downtown Reno, Nevada between City Hall and the Truckee River on the Virginia Street. From 1947 until 1982 the site was home to the historic Mapes Hotel. When built, The Mapes was the tallest building in Nevada and was also considered unique accommodating both a hotel and casino. As the premier hotel in Reno in the 1950’s and 1960’s, the Mapes became the prototype for modern hotel/casinos and a “postcard for Reno.” Though it thrived throughout the 1970’s the Casino closed its doors on December 17, 1982. In1996, after years of decay, The Reno Redevelopment Agency took possession of the building, and in a controversial move condemned the building and demolished it on January 30, 2000.

Owner Desires: The city of Reno appropriated the site fro a public plaza to become an integral part of the Truckee River Lane Corridor Redevelopment. The canopy design must honor the importance of the site’s history, while giving back to the community a contemporary and functional icon for the City Plaza. The canopy must respond to this open activity space in the Urban district for community events. The deisgn must address the need of year-around use and all the various activities that will occur. During the spring, summer and fall the site will host community festivals and events; in the winter it functions as an ice rink. Furthermore, the design should make a statement to the community of environmental consciousness.

Programmatic requirements: Canopy- the canopy requires the maximum square footage for optimal shade during the summer and optimal overhead weather protection during the winter. Plaza- the plaza requires versatile open space to support a variety of uses and events in the summer, including theatrical audio and lighting demands, and an ice rink in the winter. Budget-restrictive!

Design approach: The canopy structure responds to the challenge of designing coverage of over 17,000 square feet with few supports that will enable the open space to remain effective for large events, flexible for performance seating, and cost effective. The canopy structure is designed with two support columns providing ample uninterrupted open space, while giving the maximum cover to shade the plaza during the hot summer months. The framework also serves as structure for the necessary audio/visual equipment and architectural lighting effects. The dramatic elegance of the structure is influenced by the structures of Santiago Calatrava albeit at fraction of the cost. The estimate construction cost is under 3.5 million dollars. To maximize that modest budget, standard materials and sizes are used such as steel sections for the structure and modular translucent polycarbonate panels for the canopy. To incorporate a renewable energy source the canopy becomes a support for think photovoltaic panels. The plaza and proposed canopy structure satisfy a myriad of programmatic requirements and give iconic resonance to the sire as a new “post card for Reno.”

“Aliante Info Gallery Called ‘Unique.’” Las Vegas Review – Journal, 26 July 2003,?. ASL File #: LVA(F) JMA 21

When two of the most successful developers in Nevada joined forces to create a master planned community, first impressions were critical. MICE made a great first impression with their design for Aliante's information gallery and welcome center.


The Aliante Information Gallery is located at the southeast corner
of I-215 and Aliante Parkway. Take US-95 north to the I-215 East
exit. Head east on I-215, exit Aliante Parkway and proceed south.

Aliante wins Homer award




The Aliante master-planned community received the "Best Master-Planned Community Merchandising Campaign" award at the recent Homer Awards festivities, which were sponsored by the Southern Nevada Home Builders Association.

Participants submitted 77 entries in 17 categories. Aliante won its award primarily on the strength of the design of the community's sales information center, according to the association.

Dan Naef, senior vice president of North Valley Enterprises, developer of Aliante, was delighted.

"Prospective home buyers who visit the Aliante Information Gallery first have the assurance of knowing that they are accessing the best source of information regarding just about every possible aspect of this community," he said.

The center is located near the southeast corner of Interstate 215 and Aliante Parkway, just across from the community's 20-acre Nature Discovery Park. The 4,600-square-foot building was designed by Las Vegas-based JMA Architects, while MICE Marketcraft, of Tempe, Ariz., handled the interior design.

"It is a beautiful building, with great indoor-outdoor relationships," said Claudia Gerster, vice president of the commercial division of MICE Marketcraft. "Appropriately, we brought materials and concepts from the outside to the inside of the building. The stonework you see on the exterior is carried over to the inside. For the flooring, we used a natural slate material and incorporated into it blue-tinted glass pebble tiles to create what looks like a creek running through the slate."

A series of free-standing kiosks in the center provides visitors with information.

"There is even a special interactive niche, with computer monitors and a computer program that can take visitors on a virtual tour of the community," Gerster said.

To visit, take U.S. Highway 95 to the Interstate 215 east exit. Proceed to the Aliante Parkway exit then go south to the information center. Office hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

As the design team met with the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy & the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation for the 3rd and final phase to complete build out of the AACPA, the discussion not only turned toward curriculum and requirements but what this final step of completing their campus signifies to the student. The final phase was not really an ending but a beginning of what will follow. As our teams talked, it became apparent that the design of the 3rd phase would signify a culmination of the matriculation process and a celebration of the next phase of their journey: college and the rest of their lives. This became the major design idea for the process.
