The Spadina WaveDeck received a Certificate of Merit as part of the National Urban Design Awards – its fifth design or construction related award since opening in September 2008.
The National Urban Design Awards, sponsored by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, the Canadian Institute of Planners and the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects, are designed to raise awareness of urban design. Described by the jury as a “nice piece of art” that creates “an interesting node and a continuous path that accommodates all abilities and disability”, the Spadina WaveDeck was honoured in the Civic Design category for its role in maintaining and enhancing the quality of life in Toronto.
