Warbud received the First Prize for the construction of the Seat of National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice.

Warbud S.A. was represented in the gala by Deputy Directors Mr. Waldemar Piwek and Mr. Dariusz Wysocki who managed the NOSPR construction project.

Warbud got the highest marks for 'an adequate and expressive use of the concrete technology for the construction of the concert hall - the main and most important element of the NOSPR building.
