 The British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) has been awarded the prestigious Client of the Year Award for 2026 by the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies of British Columbia (ACECBC).

The Award recognizes a client who encourages positive collaboration with consulting engineering companies through effective communication, fair and transparent processes, and respectful working conditions.

The Award was announced at the ACEC-BC Awards for Engineering Excellence ceremony on May 8, at the Vancouver Playhouse.

Danica Djurkovic, Associate Vice President, BCIT Campus Planning and Facilities, comments, “BCIT is thrilled to receive this award from the ACECBC. We are working to transform our campuses to support the next generation of learners, which is only made possible by the collaborative partnerships we have with the engineering, architectural and consultancy firms who help make our vision into reality.”

The Awards for Engineering Excellence recognize innovation, leadership, and technical excellence across a diverse range of engineering disciplines, celebrating the outstanding achievements of consulting engineering firms, their clients, and partners across British Columbia.

Collaborating to transform the future of teaching and learning In the last year, BCIT has completed the new Tall Timber Student Housing building and begun construction on three buildings that will be part of the Trades and Technology Complex, while preparing to break ground on the Concert Properties Centre for Trades and Technology and South Campus Infrastructure Renewal project.

Danica continues, “Our consultants are asked to collaborate on a huge variety of projects whether that’s engaging with our faculty to design spaces for learning and simulation or sequencing complex infrastructure work around our campus operations.

The passion and skill of the engineers, architects and other consultants help us deliver projects that demonstrate leadership in engineering and sustainability.

As a leading provider of trades and engineering training, we’re particularly thankful that so many of our professional partners also choose to share their expertise with our students, through our Living Labs program, helping inspire the next generation of engineering and trades professionals.”
