Part of the citation for the award read ‘Overall, the Roslyn Otzen Sports and Wellbeing Centre is a masterful integration of sports and fitness with positive lifestyle and social connectivity. The building provides a carefully resolved response to the competing needs for holistic wellbeing, fostering a strong sense of belonging and support in an enduring architectural solution. It is a… testament to the power of design to improve the wellbeing and learning outcomes of young lives’.

This award is also recognition of the dedicated work by so many in the Korowa community to ensure the successful completion of this transformative building in 2022 and is a fitting tribute to the dynamic leadership of past Principal, Ros Otzen and the four Korovians whose contributions have been recognised by the learning spaces named in their honour.
