Wulanda wins again

Multi-million dollar facility secures second design award

Wulanda Recreation & Convention Centre has been recognised at the 2023 Australian Institute of Architecture SA Awards for public architecture and sustainability.

DesignInc, architect for Wulanda Recreation & Convention Centre received the Public Architecture Award at the ceremony held earlier this month at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

DesignInc Associate Director Ben Luppino said they were particularly proud to have the design recognised for its focused response to the community needs and providing inclusive design throughout the centre, as well as the integrated technical responses to environmental and social sustainability. “We are pleased that the recognition showcases the region, and thank the City of Mount Gambier for the opportunity to be able to contribute on such a significant project,” Mr Luppino said.

The project also received a commendation for sustainable architecture, recognising the environmentally sustainable design using exposed structural timber and a 720 kilowatt solar system.
