Stantec has been recognized with an
international award for its work on the Washington State Veterans Home in
Retsil, WA, which recently took first place honors in the 2007 Technology
Awards competition sponsored by ASHRAE.
The project is
one of only three to receive this top award. The Veterans Home previously
earned a Puget Sound Chapter and Northwest Regional Award from ASHRAE. The
Veterans Home is a $48 million, long-term care facility overlooking
Puget Sound. Stantec provided
mechanical engineering and sustainable design services for the 240-bed complex,
working with NBBJ Architects. Earlier this year, the building earned a LEED
Gold certification from the USGBC. LEED is the nationally accepted benchmark
for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green
buildings.
