The EIFS Council of Canada has opened its 2022 Architectural Design Awards Program for submissions. This is the sixth consecutive year that the EIFS Council of Canada has run their prestigious Awards Program. The Program was initiated to honour design professionals and firms which incorporate EIFS products into innovative and creative built projects.
The ECC’s award-winning projects represent the very best of EIFS projects in Canada. Last year’s Grand Prize was awarded to 109 King Avenue by Barry Bryan Associates. This year, the EIFS Council encourages all architects, design professionals, and contractors to submit their recent EIFS projects for the opportunity to be selected as the Grand Prize recipient.
“The EIFS Council of Canada is pleased to continue to recognize and honour projects that have used EIFS in an innovative way,” remarked John M. Garbin, president/ CEO of the EIFS Council of Canada, “We developed this Awards Program with the objective of creating a new benchmark in EIFS construction. The finalists and winners from past years have shown that EIFS helps realize Canada’s national objective of creating resilient, sustainable and aesthetically pleasing buildings.”
The Awards Program is open to all architects, architectural firms, builders or design professionals that have designed and completed a project located in Canada that utilizes EIFS. Eligible projects must be occupied no sooner than January 1st, 2020 and no later than January 31st, 2022. All applicants may submit their projects in one of seven categories: 1) low rise residential, 2) mid-rise residential, 3) high rise residential, 4) commercial/retail, 5) recreational/institutional, 6) hospitality, and 7) renovation.
Registrations and submissions are now open for the architectural awards. Final submission packages must be received no later than April 25th. Award finalists will be announced on May 5th, 2022.
