Brentwood College School was named winner of the Judges Choice Award for best overall entry in the fourth annual Vancouver Island Real Estate Board’s (VIREB) Commercial Building Awards held in Courtenay. This was the first time the event was held in Courtenay and it was a sell out.

Brentwood College’s building features a dining hall and student centre in Mill Bay. It also won the Excellence Award in the Institutional category, sharing honours with Nanaimo’s new East Wellington Fire Hall.

Dignitaries at the Commercial Building Awards included Greg Phelps, mayor of Courtenay; Eric Russcher, mayor of Ucluelet; Allan Corbett, Canadian Commercial Council chair elect; Dennis Germyn, attending on behalf of the B.C. Commercial Council; Stephen Shea, Victoria Real Estate Board’s Commercial Division chair and Jim Stewart, VIREB president.

VIREB’s 2011 Commercial Building Awards chair Jay Cousins says the quality of entries was outstanding. “The interest in our Commercial Building Awards has been well received again this year. The calibre of workmanship and design is setting a standard for Vancouver Island that would be the envy of any area in the country.”

To be eligible for nomination, an investment, commercial or industrial building, development or renovation project had to have been completed between Jan. 1, 2010 and Dec. 31, 2010.
