At the AIA Architecture Awards held on 24 June 2011 Architectus Brisbane received a State Award for the Queensland Emergency Operations Centre project in the Public Architecture category. The jurors commented on the merits of the design by noting,
"This major communications and disaster management building is elegant in its integration of a highly technical brief and core sustainability objectives. The clean lines of the form and raw materials are softened with screening and battening while the articulated landscape courtyard creates shaded and green areas for the essential relief to its buildings and the challenging and emotionally demanding work of its occupants."
