Earlier this month, the OAA revealed the 17 Finalists for its 2022 Design Excellence Awards. This year’s selection includes building types ranging from libraries and learning institutions to striking residences and performing arts venues in Southwestern Ontario and Northwestern Texas. Chosen by a jury of design experts, the projects serve as the shortlist for the OAA’s Design Excellence Winners, which will be announced next week and honoured at the Celebration of Excellence at the OAA Conference in Toronto this May.

The 17 Finalists are being spotlighted on the blOAAg, one project a day.
