MKC is proud to announce that Lakeside High School, Ashtabula, OH has been selected for publication in Penton Media's American School & University 2007 Architectural Portfolio. The project is featured in the November 2007 edition of the magazine and also on the web at www.schooldesigns.com. An annual competition honoring education design excellence, the Architectural Portfolio spotlights projects representing some of the most effective learning environments in America.

A jury of American Institute of Architects (AIA) Committee on Architecture for Education members and education administrators evaluated submissions from architectural firms, schools and universities across the country. Featured projects include designs that consider security and students safety, plan for technology, and incorporate aesthetics, technology and function to work together at a cost that makes sense over the life of the building. The jury used the following criteria to make its selections: innovation, sustainability/maintainability, safety/security, image/aesthetics and life-cycle costs.
