Best health and wellness design for Global Awards shortlisted

LONDON: The shortlist for the best health and wellness design has been declared.

Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.

Camosun College’s newly opened Alex and Jo Campbell Centre for Health and Wellness has been awarded the top prize at the Victoria Real Estate Board (VREB) Annual Commercial Building Awards competition.

The centre was the winner of the Judge’s Choice award at the annual competition for its stunning design and community impact.

“The reason the judges were so impressed with the Alex and Jo Campbell Centre is due to the use of light and space, which is so special, and the benefit of the centre to the greater community is commendable as well,” says Sandi-Jo Ayers, president of VREB.

Established in 1991, the Annual Commercial Building Awards competition recognizes commercial development within Greater Victoria.

The prize has recognized developers, architects, designers, builders, contractors, owners and financiers for enhancing commercial real estate stock, stimulating urban renewal, and the risks they undertake to build and renovate commercial space in South Island communities.

“We look at how the projects have incorporated into the community,” Ayers says.

“There’s also a lot to be said about the people who take risks on these projects to enhance neighbourhoods and create opportunities.”

The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
