FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.<\/span><\/span>, Oct. 26<\/span>, 2022 <\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — The eighth annual ACI Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards showcased dozens of innovative concrete projects from around the world.<\/p>\n

The “Overall Excellence” award was presented to Chau Chak Wing Museum, located in Sydney<\/span>, New South Wales, Australia<\/span>. The winning concrete project also received first place in the mid-rise structures category at the ACI Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards during the ACI Concrete Convention<\/a> on Monday, October 24, 2022<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Chau Chak Wing Museum at The University of Sydney<\/span> is the culmination of many years of strategic planning that consolidates the University’s Nicholson<\/span>, Macleay, Power, and University Art collections and showcases some of Australia’s<\/span> most significant artistic, scientific, and archaeological artifacts. With a specified design life of more than 100 years, the aspiration for the Museum was to be as highly regarded as the iconic Great Hall and Quadrangle, the symbolic and ceremonial heart of the University. The construction of the museum involved bulk excavation, construction of a six\u2013level building (including a plant level and two basement levels) with 7740 m2 (83,300 ft2) of gross floor area.<\/p>\n

“What makes this project particularly noteworthy is its commitment to sustainability and its focus on constructability,” stated Overall Excellence judge Emily Guglielmo<\/span>. “All this while meeting the demanding architectural vision. This project represents a model for concrete design and construction that we should all strive to achieve.”<\/p>\n

The awards were created to honor the visions of the most creative projects in the concrete industry, while providing a platform to recognize concrete innovation, technology, and excellence across the globe. To be eligible for participation in the ACI Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards, projects need to be nominated by an ACI Chapter, International Partner, or selected through self-nomination.<\/p>\n
