Two titles of Building of the Year in Vysočina belong to Pacov

Jihlava – Two out of five buildings that received the title Building of the Year of the Vysočina Region for 2019 belong to the city of Pacov. These are a kindergarten and a social services house. Among the awarded are also the educational and training center for rescuers in Jihlava, the renovation of Budoucnost Park in Havlíčkův Brod, and the community center Moravia in Třebíč. Experts evaluated 21 new buildings and reconstructions, reported Martin Pertl, the chairman of the organizing association, to ČTK today.

This time, the announcement of the results did not take place due to the coronavirus. The awards will be presented individually by the organizers. The first date for publishing the results of the showcase was in June. The alternative date in September also did not occur. "Given the current situation, which is not favorable for holding indoor events and it is also not possible to predict when the situation will return to normal, the organizers decided to announce the results without a social gathering," Pertl stated in today’s press release.

The kindergarten Za Branou in Pacov received the title in the category of school buildings. The new elementary school in Okrouhlice in the Havlíčkobrod region received not only an honorable mention but also a public award, as the public sent the most votes for this building via SMS messages.


The social services house in Pacov received the highest rating among residential buildings. The renovation of part of the century-old municipal park Budoucnost in Havlíčkův Brod won the category focused on the revitalization of public spaces. The community center in Třebíč received the title among civic amenities. The space for club rooms, offices, a music rehearsal room, and a social café was created by the Třebíč town hall through the renovation of the former cinema Moravia.

The competition was organized for the eighteenth time by the Vysočina Construction Association in cooperation with the Association of Entrepreneurs in Construction, the Czech Chamber of Authorized Engineers and Technicians Active in Construction, and the Vysočina Region. An overview of the evaluated buildings is available on the website.
