FIRST AWARD FOR ABERDEEN HARBOUR ’S NEW MARINE OPERATIONS CENTRE
Aberdeen Harbour ’s new Marine Operations Centre has taken top honours in the annual Awards and Commendations presented by Aberdeen Civic Society.
The state-of-the-art facility, which became operational in late September, received the main award.
The Awards and Commendation Scheme is an important feature of the Society's work, with encouragement and recognition given to those who have added to the amenity of the city by means of new buildings or the restoration and the preservation of old ones.
A panel of experts from the Aberdeen Civic Society, the City Council’s planning and infrastructure service and the Aberdeen Society of Architects compiles the list of buildings and projects.
Aberdeen Harbour Board Engineering Director, Ken Reilly, said: “The Centre meets our objective to develop an attractive building further improving the efficiency of harbour operations and enhancing the image of the port and city.
“It is receiving many favourable comments, and everyone involved in the design and construction is to be congratulated.”
The design of the £4.5 million Centre reflects a traditional Scottish lighthouse supporting a modern glass structure.
