Established in 2008, The North American Copper in Architecture (NACIA) awards program aims to identify projects that display innovation and excellence in architectural copper applications. Setting the bar for architects and sheet metal contractors working with copper in the U.S. and Canada, the NACIA program is sponsored by industry representatives at the Copper Development Association (CDA) and the Canadian Copper & Brass Development Association (CCBDA).
The copper industry selected 15 projects in three categories to be honored with a NACIA award this year. The categories include New Construction, Renovation/Restoration and Ornamental Applications.
