The Owensboro Health Regional Hospital project in Owensboro, Ky, won the American Council of Engineering Companies 2014 Engineering Excellence Awards competition, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design magazine website.
Completed in June 2013, the Owensboro structural system resolved challenges involving high-seismic conditions near the New Madrid and Wabash Valley Seismic zones, poor soil conditions and curvilinear building massing, according to the article.
