Manitoba’s pavilion at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics — named CentrePlace Manitoba — is one of those once-in-a-lifetime projects that McKim Cringan George just had to be part of. And before construction was finished in January, CentrePlace Manitoba was already getting high praise in the Olympic community. The Manitoba pavilion was awarded a VANOC Sustainability Star, which recognizes examples of innovation in sustainability that demonstrate positive and measurable social, economic and environmental impacts.
