ENR Mountain States is pleased to announce the winners of its 2014 Best Projects competition in the region, which includes Utah, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.
A panel of eight judges from all areas of the industry—architects, GCs and engineers—selected winners in each of categories. The judges also selected a number of merit winners and awarded ties in some categories. This is our 14th year for the project awards, which are detailed below. In addition to the awards listed, we will present safety awards to several deserving projects, and one project in each area (Intermountain and Colorado/Plain States) will win top honors as the Best Overall, along with some judges’ special recognitions. Those winners will be announced soon, so stay tuned.
The awards are split into two areas (Intermountain and Colorado/Wyoming & Plains States), to correspond with their respective awards events. They are arranged by category below. Projects will be covered in more detail in the October issue of ENR Mountain States, and the winners honored at two breakfast awards events in the last week of October. (See details about those here on our website).
If you have questions, please e-mail me (Mark Shaw, Editor-in-Chief, ENR Mountain States) at mark.shaw@mhfi.com.
