22 June 2009

New projects at Sydney Olympic Park were last night recognised at the prestigious Australian Institute of Architects NSW Chapter Architecture Awards.
   
The Armory Wharf Precinct on the Parramatta River won the Architecture Award in the Urban Design category and the Armory Wharf Cafe building took out the top award in the Commercial Architecture category.

Sydney Olympic Park's new town centre, Jacaranda Square, received a Commendation in the Urban Design category.

Sydney Olympic Park Authority Chief Executive Officer Alan Marsh congratulated the winning architects and noted the contribution that their recently completed projects had made to Sydney Olympic Park.

'I congratulate the winners on their success,' Mr Marsh said.

'These projects were commissioned by Sydney Olympic Park Authority to support the continued growth of Sydney Olympic Park into a new, modern township and enhance the experience of people working in and visiting the precinct.

'They demonstrate the commitment of Sydney Olympic Park Authority to creating a high quality sustainable urban domain at Sydney Olympic Park for visitors, workers and residents of the future,' Mr Marsh said.

The Armory Wharf Precinct and Cafe, and Jacaranda Square will now be judged against other state winners at the Australian Institute of Architects National Awards on 29 October 2009.

'I wish our architects success at the national awards in October,' Mr Marsh said.
