On Saturday, March 19, 700 consulting engineers and clients attended ACEC New York's 49th annual Engineering Excellence Awards Gala at the Waldorf Astoria. This year, 125 awards were given to member firm projects. The Empire Award, the top-rated project designed and built completely within New York State, was announced that evening and presented to WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff for the No. 7 Subway Extension. The NYC DOT and DASNY received Awards of Merit, and $10,000 in scholarships were awarded to two New York college students in their names. The NYC DOT was given the first-ever Design Industry Excellence Award. Matthew Driscoll, NYS DOT Commissioner, acted as emcee for live award presentations for 28 Diamond Awards.
