Vancouver Convention Centre West

Award Winner
WAN Sustainable Building of the Year (2012)

This project is located at:

Activity Type	WAN Sustainable Building of the Year
Certification date	January 01 2012
Notes	The design approach creates a community experience that is simultaneously a building, an urban district, a park and an ecosystem. The convention centre program emphasises spaces for both public and private events, gatherings and circulation. Urban spaces formed by the building?s landforms extend the downtown street grid to preserve view corridors out to the water. Waterfront and urban pedestrian activities extend the public realm through and around the site, with 400,000-sq-ft of walkways, bikeways, public open space and plazas, constituting the city?s first major public gathering space on the water.
