FACT & Actual Architecture Co. are thrilled to announce that the Omaha Mobile Stage won an Honor Award in the 2024 SARA New York Design Awards (student work category). And, Bemis LOW END won an Award of Excellence in the same program. This is strong recognition for the efforts of students to work together in the FACT designbuild studio to realize two very different non-profit performance venues.

Actual.AC & FACT worked with many partners and collaborators to design and build both exceptional projects. Visit the Omaha Mobile Stage and Bemis LOW END FACT project pages details and images.
