We are pleased to announce we won a 2025 Professional Project Award from the Architectural Engineering Institute of ASCE! Folger Shakespeare Library, completed in June 2024, was awarded an Award of Merit in the Architectural Engineering Integration category.
In 2017, the Library launched a 44,419 SF (with 6,000 SF below grade), $80.5 million renewal and expansion project led by architects KieranTimberlake.
The design team was challenged to create a cohesive building and visitor experience and incorporate contemporary interventions while preserving the architectural integrity of the nearly 100-year-old building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. If this wasn’t challenging enough, the 6,000 SF expansion was beneath the building, generating exceptional systems integration design and team coordination accomplishments.
Full list of winners here.
I’m so proud of all the great work in the AEC industry once again exemplified by the AEI Professional Project Award submissions. All of the submissions showcase the tremendous technical ability, creativity and dedication of the talented professionals working together to evolve the design and construction of our built world in beautiful and functional ways to make it more resilient, adaptable, and sustainable.
