Southern Ute Indian Tribe
Southern Ute Cultural Center and Museum
The Southern Ute Cultural Center and Museum was developed to preserve and share the heritage of a native people who have inhabited present-day Colorado, Utah and New Mexico for millennia.
Winner of the Society of American Registered Architects | New York Council's Design Award of Honor, the Center tells the Tribe’s story so that future generations will know what it is to be Ute, and so that visitors will come to appreciate the Ute’s rich culture.

Centro Cultural César Chávez
The César Chávez Cultural Center provides a gathering place for Latin American students, faculty and alumni on campus.
The design employs heavy walls, sun-drenched color, light and shadow, courtyards and plazas—elements universal to the structures of Mesoamerican cultures and contemporary Latin American art and architecture—as its cultural expressions.

Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial Committee
Bainbridge Island Japanese-American Exclusion Memorial
Bainbridge Island, just west of Seattle, was the first site of the forced relocation of Japanese-Americans to internment camps at the beginning of World War II. Jones & Jones worked with the Japanese-American community of Bainbridge Island and the City of Bainbridge Island to design a memorial and visitor center telling the story of this tragic episode in American history.
