The VanDusen Botanical Garden Visitor Centre in Vancouver has received a 2013 Chairman’s Award in the metal roofing category from the Metal Construction Association (MCA). The centre was the only Canadian project to be honoured in this year’s awards.

The MCA judges noted that the building was beautifully executed, with a roof crafted with exquisite detailing. The natural finish metal chosen for the building is also easy to maintain.

3A Composites USA was the MCA member manufacturer on the project. Perkins+Will Canada was the architect and Ledcor Group of Companies was the contractor. The metal installer was Keith Panel Systems Co., Ltd.

The Chairman’s Awards are an annual designation given to outstanding building projects involving MCA member companies. The awards honour innovation and creativity while showcasing how metal products help achieve exceptional building designs.
