Friday, March 6, 2020
CHICAGO – The American Council of Engineering Companies of Illinois (ACEC) hosted this year’s 2020 Engineering Excellence Award Garden Party Gala at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare on Thursday, February 20th. TERRA received ACEC’s inaugural Small Firm of the Year Award and the Special Projects Honor Award for the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority’s (MPEA) McCormick Square Campus Expansion project. The McCormick Square Campus Expansion project consisted of five sub-projects including the construction of the Marriott Marquis Chicago, a 39-story hotel with 1,205 guest rooms and the 10,387-seat Wintrust Arena. The project included the complete restoration of the American Book Company (ABC) building constructed in 1912, the half-acre Prairie District Park, and the reconstruction of S. Prairie Avenue from E. 21st Street to E. Cermak Road in both permeable and non-permeable clay brick pavers.
TERRA’s Dustin Erickson, P.E., CFM, who served as project manager for civil engineering on this mixed-use development, was joined by other TERRA staff and client partners from MPEA, Site Design, Goesttch Partners, and Clark Construction. “We are honored that ACEC Illinois recognized TERRA as its inaugural Small Firm of the Year,” Jamil Bou-Saab, TERRA’s executive vice president, stated. “This accomplishment reflects our staff’s passion for advancing the engineering industry by helping shape the community in which we live, work, and play.” If you would like to learn more about this project, click here.
