TheBiodesign Institute Building Con the Arizona State University campus was named Project of the Year. The Excellence in Safety winner was the Ascaya Clubhouse in Las Vegas. Judges were impressed with the engineering and contracting feats on Biodesign C and the safety successes of Ascaya, which used more than 2,000 shots of dynamite to clear a mountainside.

Two New Mexico projects received specific mention from the judges. The Carlisle in Albuquerque, a Best Projects winner in the residential/hospitality category, was the victim of a serial arsonist, but it was completely rebuilt in about 17 months. Along Interstate 40 in Albuquerque, a diversion channel features a concrete volcano that uses elevation change to create an “eruption” which can reach 6 to 8 ft above the volcano top.

Those two projects and the other winners impressed this year’s judges for their achievements in innovation and creative design.
