The Ottawa Street Power Station project in Lansing, Mich., has earned national recognition in the 2011 Innovative Design in Engineering and Architecture with Structural Steel awards program (IDEAS2), and members of the project team will be presented with awards from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) during a ceremony at the former power station turned corporate office building on Wednesday, July 13, at 11 a.m.
The Ottawa Street Power Station adaptive reuse project is the recipient of the competition’s Presidential Award of Excellence in Engineering, making it the only project in the country out of nearly 100 entries to receive this honor. Each entry is judged by a panel of industry experts which considers the projects’ use of structural steel, with an emphasis on creative solutions to project requirements; design innovation; aesthetic and visual impact of the project; innovative use of architecturally exposed structural steel; technical or architectural advances in the use of steel; the use of innovative design and construction methods; and sustainable design.
