Best Cultural Institution Project
The Best Cultural Institution Project Award is intended to recognize a project which demonstrates successful application of practices including, but not limited to, innovation and technology, design, efficiency and budgeting. Projects must be cultural institution developments, including but not limited to, museums, churches, or tourism attractions.
LF Driscoll’s Barnes Foundation, completed in 2012, is an excellent example of a cultural institution in Philadelphia.
Best Green Space Project
The Best Green Space Project Award is intended to recognize a project which demonstrates successful application of practices including, but not limited to, innovation and technology, design, efficiency and budgeting. Projects must consist of some form and use of green space, indoor or outdoor, including but not limited to parks, public spaces, and green living areas.
Bittenbender Construction’s Central Green at the Philadelphia Navy Yard is an excellent example of a green space. Please note that while this particular space does have a lot of grass, this is not a requirement for this award.
Excellence in Workforce Development
The Excellence in Workforce Development award is intended to recognize a member company for extraordinary, exemplary, and innovative training programs which encourage their own workforce to pursue career growth in the construction industry and/or enhance an individual’s skills. The honoree will significantly and regularly acknowledge the rising leadership within the company.
