There was a decidedly North Bay flavour among the winners at the 10th annual Ontario Wood WORKS! awards gala in Toronto, Nov. 4.
Sudbury's Halsall Associates received the engineer wood advocate award recognizing a firm that helped show leadership by incorporating wood in a large health-care facility. They were part of the design team on the new North Bay Regional Health Centre, which won an award in the institutional wood design category. A total of 670,000 board feet was used for structural timber, wood decking and paneling for the combination hospital and mental heath centre.
The design team was North Bay's Evans Bertrand Hill Wheeler Architecture Inc., which won the architect wood advocate award for its decade of work on the project. The firm also designed the award-winning Bill Barber complex in Callander, near North Bay. That project won the institutional wood design award for projects valued as less than $10 million.
The Northern Ontario excellence award went to One Kids Place children's treatment centre in North Bay, led by the team of Mitchell Architects of North Bay, and Anrep Krieg Desiltes Gravelle Engineers of Sudbury.
