$60M Spokane medical building tops
off for UW/Gonzaga venture
The building is going up near McKinstry’s SIERR Building and the Spokane River.
The Nine and Pine Apartments project in downtown Seattle, Washington was the Grand Award Winner in its category at the 2015 Gold Nugget Awards. Sponsored by the PCBC, the annual event (now in its 52nd year) is the largest and most prestigious competition of its kind, and recognizes “those who improve our communities through exceptional concepts in design, planning and development.” Winners were chosen from 635 entries from around the world in the areas of community and home design, green-built housing, site planning, specialty housing, and commercial, retail, and mixed-use development. Metals Fab provided the structural steel for the project, which was designed by Runberg Architecture Group and built by Sierra Construction Company.
AWARD-WINNING PROJECT
The University of Oregon Hatfield-Dowlin Football Performance Center, designed by Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects, won the highest honor granted to building projects by the U.S. steel industry: the American Institute of Steel Construction’s 2015 IDEAS2 Awards competition for excellence in steel-frame building design. Metals Fab provided the structural steel for the project.
“IDEAS2” stands for Innovative Design in Engineering and Architecture with Structural Steel; the jury is therefore tasked with evaluating both engineering and architectural aspects of a project when making its selections. You can read more about the IDEAS2 Awards and the rest of the winning projects in the May issue of Modern Steel Construction magazine, or go here for a more in-depth overview of the U of O project.
