This year our panel of industry judges reviewed and discussed 20 projects located throughout the region, which comprises of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Three judges from the industry evaluated each project on the ability of the project team to overcome challenges, contribution to the industry and community, safety and construction and design quality. Due to the number of entries, we can’t honor all the projects that are submitted each year, so if your project didn’t win this year, please be sure to submit next year!
Judges were given the option to select any combination of Best Project-level category winners and Award of Merit honorees. Judges will also designate an overall Project of the Year from the Best Project-level winners listed below – we’ll announce that winner in our November/December issue and at the breakfast.
Also at the breakfast, we will take the opportunity to honor the firms that were selected throughout the year as our Owner, Design Firm and Contractor of the Year, as well as the ENR New England’s Legacy Award winners. Hope to see you there!
