"Best Of" awards were given to the top entry in a category. "Awards of Excellence” were also presented to projects that the judges deemed to be especially worthy of recognition. All winning projects will be featured in an upcoming issue of Southeast Construction and will be honored at a luncheon to be held at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando on Dec. 8. Also, five projects were considered for the competition's top prize, the "Judges Award," for best overall project. Finalists included: the Georgia Aquarium Dolphin Expansion in Atlanta; Shands Cancer Hospital at the University of Florida in Gainesville**; Atlantic Coast High School in Jacksonville, Fla.; the Duke University East Campus Steam Plant in Raleigh, N.C.; and the North Terminal Development Consolidation Project, Phase 1, in Miami, Fla. A secondary review of these nominated projects is under way, with the results to be announced soon. Top winners in each category will be entered into the National Best Of the Best competition. Those winners will be profiled in Engineering News-Record and at www.southeast.construction.com. Southeast Construction is part of McGraw-Hill Construction's network of Regional Construction Publications.
