Firm principal, Howard Graves, worked closely with Mr. and Mrs. Irvis , as project architect, as he developed a design that would be reflective of the former Speaker and visionary man. Mr. Irvis was fond of airplanes, which is reflected in the ceiling design. The result is a project that shows a perspective symbol of honesty and integrity and provides space for an interactive learning opportunity
​
The design uses symmetry to achieve a formal, yet graceful, statement and theme. The architecture exploits a free plan both horizontally and vertically, with emphasis on scale, texture, and functional relationships. Mies Van Der Rohe’s 1929 Barcelona Exposition Pavilion Building served as a benchmark reference for the project, for the architecture that sets the framework for program.
