Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope^® was honored as “Best In Class: Spread” by Architectural Record, a BNP Media publication, through its 2016 Advertising Excellence Awards program. The program recognizes the most effective advertisements in the building and design marketplace and the companies and agencies that produce them.

Recognition was given to Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope^® for outstanding work on the “Get Plugged In” advertisement spread created by Brian J. Ganton & Associates.

The 2016 Advertising Excellence Awards were presented at a breakfast and panel discussion during the AIA 2016 National Convention & Design Exposition.
