February 18, 2024

Every year, the chapters of the American Council of Engineering Companies celebrate projects exhibiting the best of the best — the most innovative projects produced by firms in their state. Several HDR projects received 2024 Engineering Excellence Awards. Each state chapter recognizes the winning project teams and clients at local awards ceremonies throughout the fall, winter and spring.

The state-winning projects advanced to the national ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards competition, which culminates with the announcement of winners at a gala on May 15. The gala recognizes the year’s most remarkable engineering achievements and is part of the 2024 ACEC Annual Conference.
