The New Construction Award is presented to the team responsible for a new commercial or institutional building that demonstrates optimal environmental sustainability and occupant health and wellness, recognizing the A-Building for reducing environmental impact and enhancing wellbeing.
This award was presented at the CAGBC Building Lasting Change Conference and Gala on June 6, held in Toronto, with participating parties in attendance, and EllisDon accepting the award. The annual awards celebrate the innovative projects, teams, and individuals making positive contributions to Canada’s green building sector.
“The CAGBC Awards are a showcase of the market’s commitment to green building,” shares Thomas Mueller, CAGBC president and CEO. “This year’s winners represent the best of Canada’s sustainability leaders and the most innovative green and low-carbon projects in the country. Together they prove that green buildings are better buildings with reduced carbon emissions, enhanced resiliency and long-term business value.”
Centennial College A-Building Expansion embraces design principles that reduce environmental impact and enhance occupant wellbeing. The new five-storey, low-carbon, highly energy efficient, mass timber student services building is part of a project that includes the partial renovation of an existing 1994 building, and the exterior work surrounding the two buildings. The building draws from the Indigenous concept of “Two-eyed Seeing,” meaning it reflects both Indigenous and Western cultures.
Congratulations to everyone who contributed to Centennial College A-Building Expansion on this remarkable recognition!
