2023 Winner

The 2023 award was presented to the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, for completing critical infrastructure upgrades to its H Building facility. The project team demonstrated extraordinary dedication, managerial acumen and technical skill to deliver a complete replacement and upgrade of the facility’s electrical and mechanical systems.

Cleveland Clinic Foundation’s commitment to improving the H Building’s resiliency and redundancy provided the impetus for the project, which was completed on time and below budget without any patient or construction safety incidents, even while maintaining critical patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
