National Centre for Indigenous Laws building at UVic wins architecture award even before it’s built; spas in Parksville, Oak Bay named to top-100 list
The National Centre for Indigenous Laws building at the University of Victoria is still under construction, but its architectural design is already winning awards.
Slated to open in late fall, the building received a 2023 Canadian Architect Award of Excellence for its Coast Salish design elements and focus on bringing the surrounding forest into the building.
The design was created through a partnership of three architectural firms led by Two Row Architect, an Indigenous-owned firm, along with Teeple Architects Inc. and Low Hammond Rowe Architects.
The 2,440-square-metre addition to UVic’s Anne and Murray Fraser law building will provide space for the learning and teaching of Indigenous laws.
