💡🏆 Celebrating Excellence in Light – IES Edmonton Awards ✨ What an incredible evening at the IES Edmonton Awards, celebrating the projects, people, and passion that continue to elevate lighting design and engineering across our city. Each project tells a story — one of creativity, collaboration, and vision. 🌉 Specialty Lighting Award – SMP Engineering Group For their vibrant and dynamic Bertram Pedestrian Overpass, where color LED lighting transformed a bridge into an experience. Their focus and precision brought energy and identity to a space built for movement and connection. 📚 Interior Lighting Award – AECOM Electrical Engineering For their inspiring work on the Stanley A. Milner Library, a historical Edmonton landmark reimagined through light. The design captures how illumination can blend warmth, technology, and inclusivity — turning a place of learning into a renewed space for community and creativity. 🏛️ Exterior Lighting Award – SMP Engineering Group For the Government Centre North Plaza (Legislative Grounds), where exterior lighting enhances not only visibility but the heritage and dignity of one of Alberta’s most symbolic spaces. A perfect example of storytelling through design and engineering. These projects remind us that lighting is more than illumination — it’s emotion, culture, and connection. It’s how we express identity through engineering and how we make our communities shine. Congratulations to all the winners, the nominees, and the teams behind each vision. Proud of what our lighting community in Edmonton continues to create and represent — locally and beyond. #IESEdmonton #LightingDesign #EngineeringExcellence #Architecture #InteriorDesign #SMP #DesignAwards #YEG #InnovationThroughLight #Community #Collaboration #lightisvida

Exterior Lighting Excellence IES Edmonton Awards A huge congratulations to SMP Engineering for receiving the Exterior Lighting Award at this year’s IES Edmonton Awards for their remarkable work on the Government Centre North Plaza at the Legislative Grounds in Edmonton. This project beautifully redefines one of our city’s most symbolic public spaces the heart of civic life in Alberta. Through thoughtful lighting design, the team at SMP Engineering brought a renewed sense of presence, history, and purpose to the plaza, allowing the architecture and landscape to shine day and night. The exterior illumination not only enhances visibility and safety it celebrates the heritage and dignity of the site, connecting people to place through light, structure, and emotion. This is more than lighting; it’s storytelling through engineering and design. A space that belongs to everyone, now brighter and more alive than ever. Congratulations again to SMP Engineering and to all teams recognized for their commitment to excellence and innovation in lighting. #IESEdmonton #LightingDesign #ExteriorLighting #SMPEngineering #GovernmentCentreNorthPlaza #LegislativeGrounds #Architecture #EngineeringExcellence #DesignAwards #YEG #InnovationThroughLight #lightisvida
