BusinessWeek/Architectural Record Winners Announced
(archrecord.construction.com - 08/17/2006)
Today the winners of the 2007 BusinessWeek/Architectural
Record awards program were announced. This was the ninth annual
installment of the competition, which is run jointly by Architectural
Record and BusinessWeek magazines.
Eight jurors selected eight winners
and six merit awards from 176 entries which came from all
over the globe. The building types vary greatly, from a mid-size
retail store to a candy factory turned into a biotech facility.
Buildings that receive the award must embody design excellence
that contributes to their owners’ business goals in a
proficient and demonstrable manner. One office, for example,
was characterized by a juror as having “interior spaces
which generate tremendous productivity and creativity, fostering
collaboration and communication.” A few of the projects
also earned LEED sustainability ratings. The award recipients
are located in seven U.S. states, as well as Canada, Mexico,
the United Kingdom, and Germany.
The 14 projects, named below, will be
featured in November print editions of both Architectural
Record and BusinessWeek. In addition, they will be recognized
at the Architectural Record Innovation Conference, which will
be held in New York on October 11 and 12.
Applications for the next BusinessWeek/Architectural
Record awards will be available early next year; the submission
deadline is May 15, 2007.
