Materials: Vancouver Convention Centre - BC, Canada

The Vancouver Convention Centre's design team provides insight into the planning process, and how the materials for the facility were selected. By taking into consideration local and recycled content, the Convention Centre features layers of multiple materials such as lumber and aluminum.

By connecting the interior design with the spectacular natural landscape of British Columbia, the Vancouver Convention Centre is one of the greenest convention centres in the world. It boasts a living roof, seawater heating and cooling, on-site water treatment, and fish habitat built into the foundation of the West Building. The space has been awarded the GO GREEN certificate from the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) for industry-approved, environmental best practices in building management.
