Regional Transportation Commission/Regional Flood Control District Administrative Headquarters
Architect(s): RAFI, Fentress Bradburn
Address: 600 S. Grand Central Pkwy.
Year: 1999

The RTC/RFCD's building reflects the environment and context of which it is a part by referencing the Anasazi Indian culture. The central courtyard features a pond, desert landscaping, and seating areas, and is surrounded by undulating, curved walls, creating a box canyon-like space. The building's exterior represents one of the Anasazi's masonry styles and consists of ashlar stone, which complements the Clark County Government Center next door, but still gives the building its own personality. This building won an AIA Nevada Design Award in 1999.
