Five local projects have been honoured at the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2014 North Queensland Regional Architecture Awards.
The JCU Education Central by Wilson Architects with Architects North was presented with the main award for the evening—The Walter & Oliver Tunbridge Award for Building of the Year.
“James Cook University’s Education Central is the result of an intense reassessment by the architect and the University as to how contemporary students can learn. The resulting building and spaces are extraordinarily diverse and effective providing an enormously successful learning environment and a major contribution to the university’s urban landscape,” the jury said.
