Royal Conservatory revamp earns architecture award

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2005 / December 21

Marianne McKenna of KPMB Architects has received a 2005 Canadian Architect Award of Excellence for the Royal Conservatory of Music's TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning. It is the second time the design for the Royal Conservatory project has won this award, given by Canadian Architect magazine. The first time was in 1991 for the master plan for the centre. The TELUS Centre, which will add 190,000 square feet of new academic and performance space to the historic conservatory, is now under construction. The Canadian Architect Award of Excellence has been awarded since 1968 to projects at the design stage. The jury considers site, geographical and social context, structure, materials and environmental features in determining a winner.
