Lafargeholcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction has recently awarded a project on the new 'floating' campus of Brac University in Bangladesh with the Regional LafargeHolcim Awards 2017 for Asia Pacific.

The project was highly appreciated by architects, landscape designers, engineers, urban planners and developers as it won the Bronze Award at the gala event held at Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia recently, a press statement said.

Rajesh K Surana, Chief Executive Officer, LafargeHolcim Bangladesh Limited handed over the Bronze award of LafargeHolcim Awards 2017 for Asia Pacific to the team, the release added.

Sustainable construction in Asia Pacific also means building for the community. This was clearly shown by the projects that won prizes in the regional LafargeHolcim Awards presented in Kuala Lumpur. The three main Awards winning projects deal with buildings for education – involving the community and sustainably improving neighborhoods.
