WILMINGTON, MA — The Yentile Farm Recreational Facility recently won a Silver Award in the 2019 Engineering Excellence Awards (EEA) competition held by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Massachusetts (ACEC/MA).
“Within the engineering profession, the EEA program is a high degree of achievement, value and ingenuity,” says Ko Ishikura, President of Green International Affiliates, the designer of the facility. “Being selected for this honor is a significant accomplishment since, in the past, the competition has included overseas projects and massive transportation and other infrastructure projects with project values ranging upwards of hundreds of millions of dollars.”
32 projects were submitted for consideration this year.
Green International Affiliates decided to submit the project “because of the interesting engineering aspects of the site design and the fact that it transformed a previously abandoned property to a now vibrant community space.”
Entrants were rated by an independent panel of judges from the architectural community, the construction industry, academia, the media, and the public sector based on the following criteria:
- Uniqueness and/or innovative applications of new or existing techniques
- Future value of the engineering profession and perception by the public
- Social, economic, and sustainable development considerations
- Complexity
- Successful fulfillment of client/owner needs
The project’s Silver Award will be presented to the Town of Wilmington and Green International at the Engineering Excellence Awards Gala on March 20, 2019 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge.
