For 20 years now, ENR Southeast’s annual Best Projects competition has recognized the region’s best examples of outstanding construction and design, thereby showcasing the myriad components that go into building a great project. Each year, the group of award winners collectively represents not only the construction industry’s current state of the art but also celebrates the aspirations and lofty, real-world achievements of its participants.

It’s fitting, then, in this year of a pandemic, that this current class of Best Projects award winners stands tall, seemingly reminding us of the greatness that the construction industry can—and often does—achieve, even as contractors and designers endure the current market slowdown.

人们必须将今年的三个年度决赛入围者:佐治亚理工学院的Kendeda建筑建筑创新可持续设计;琼斯县新K-12学校;以及今年的最高获奖者,塞米诺尔硬石好莱坞酒店和赌场。肯德达和琼斯县K-12都拥有自己的各种奇异成就,正如读者将学到的那样,这两个项目中的任何一个都可以证明是最高奖项的获奖者。18luck官网取而代之的是,这是一家450英尺高的吉他形酒店,这是15亿美元的赌场综合体扩张的皇冠上的珠宝,赢得了这一天,并获得了今年的年度项目奖。值得一提的是,塞米诺尔(Seminole Hard Rock)的坚硬摇滚精神似乎与许多建筑最伟大的成就的核心相呼应。
