BVN has won five international architecture awards in the past month.

The BVN-designed Monash Student Housing complex at the Clayton campus of Monash University was the only Australian building to receive a prestigious International Architecture Award when the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) recently announced the winning projects in their 2012 International Award program. The RIBA jury said the large project had a ''delightful collegiate feel to it and is a creditable and credible application of modern sustainable design principles''.

Other awards went to BVN's Brain and Mind Research Institute in Sydney and the Puckapunyal Military Area Memorial Chapel in Victoria. The awards are conducted by the Chicago Athenaeum and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and will be presented in Istanbul in October.

BVN's Robina Hospital expansion was awarded two commendations, one for interior design and the other for sustainable architecture, at the Design and Health World Congress and Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur.
