The Vista Awards are given in 3 categories:
New Construction
This award is presented to a
team that has constructed a new
facility essentially from the ground
up. The new facility may be
connected to an existing facility,
but must have its own identity and
be a new space.
Renovation
This award is presented to a
team that has altered existing
conditions or added new space
to existing structures. The original
building envelope must remain
essentially intact.
Infrastructure
This award is presented to a team
that has modified or replaced
major portions of a facility’s utility
generation, distribution, or control
systems. This type of project
involves significant
project planning.
It’s time for your team to be recognized for their hard work!
