A few months after the Kankakee Army and Aviation Support Facility and Readiness Center reached completion in 2017, we teamed up again with our consultants IMEG and The George Sollitt Construction Company to win the Engineering News Record Midwest Best Project Award in the Government / Public Building project category. In 2019, we were informed that the Midwest region award win automatically entered us into the national competition where the project was selected for the Best of the Best Government / Public Building award! Thank you to everyone who worked on this project and congratulations on your work receiving well-deserved recognition! See the full list of winners.

Furthermore, our work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory (IBRL) was recently featured as a case study on Laboratory Design’s website. The article, entitled “Where Innovation Meets Production”, centers on the unique design of IBRL. One of only two in North America, the IBRL is a flexible plug-and-play pilot plant and analytical laboratory that brings faculty, students, and the private industry together.
