Awards

Design Exchange Award - Award of Merit, Architecture-Commercial - 2008

Emerald Award - Winner, Government Institution - 2008

"The 2008 Emerald Award winner for Government Institution is the result of a careful weighing of sustainable options in every aspect of design. From south-facing windows that let in almost all of the building’s daytime light, to wide common areas that encourage employee interaction, to the peaceful sanctuary of its outdoor water garden, the Water Centre is Alberta’s leader in a new wave of environmentally and people-friendly workplaces."
