Langara Library has just won a $7,500 Acknowledgement Award through the Holcim Awards for Sustainable Construction. The competition was run by the Swiss-based Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction in collaboration with five of the world’s leading technical universities.

In his address OECD Round Table on Sustainable Development Chairman and Holcim Foundation Advisory Board member, Rt. Hon. Simon Upton, (France/New Zealand), was quoted as saying, “the Holcim Awards are important precisely because they challenge participants to think through sustainable solutions in all their dimensions from the bottom up.”
