MWG Awarded SEAoA 2020 Excellence in Structural Engineering Award for U of A HSIB

Martin, White & Griffis was recently awarded the 2020 Excellence in Structural Engineering Award for our design work done for The University of Arizona Health Sciences Innovation Building (HSIB). HSIB is a 217,000 square foot cutting edge laboratory and research facility that uses structural ingenuity to achieve remarkable learning and collaboration. While the 9‐story plus basement building fosters a wide variety of learning, research and gathering spaces for teams of 2 to 1000, delivering the project in a 37‐month fast‐track process required ingenuity to achieve remarkable learning and collaboration. Early decisions on an initial structural system, preplanning for construction logistics, and best value evaluations for the University were coupled with a host of structural systems and approaches that could flex even as construction progressed. Congratulations to the MWG team for a great design!
