From a sacred Turkish mosque to a bustling urban boardwalk, a diverse group of projects earned recognition in this year’s ENR MidAtlantic Best Projects competition.
The cultural/worship category proved to be one of the most competitive fields this year with four projects earning awards, including the Turkish American Community Center. Another winner, the four-story George Washington University Museum and the Textile Museum was carefully constructed between the historic Corcoran Hall and a 19th-century townhouse in Washington, D.C. For the Ocean City Convention Center in Ocean City, Md., the project team transformed two stories of underutilized exhibit space into a new 1,200-seat performance venue. A glass-walled addition to the Slover Library in Norfolk, Va., was mated with renovation of an historic 115-year-old building.
