ENR MidAtlantic Announces 2021 Best Projects

Although it was hard to find something to celebrate in 2020, ENR MidAtlantic’s Best Projects judges took comfort in the fact that great projects were still completed despite a year full of challenges. This year’s judges honored 32 projects from across the region.

While the winners of the main categories can be found in the list below, the Best Project safety and sustainability award winners, which are juried by a separate groups of safety and sustainability experts, will be announced soon in the ENR MidAtlantic free e-newsletter. The finalists for this year’s ENR MidAtlantic Project of the Year will also be announced soon in the e-newsletter.

The Judges’ selection for this year’s overall Project of the Year from the Best Project-level winners listed below will be announced in the October issue of ENR MidAtlantic and the ENR MidAtlantic Best Projects awards event on Oct. 28. For more information about the Regional Best Projects event, please visit https://www.enr.com/enr-best-projects-awards/baltimore

This year’s winning projects in the main categories—which are listed at the bottom of this post—will also be profiled in depth in the October print issue of ENR MidAtlantic.

Two panels of industry judges reviewed nearly 90 projects located throughout the region, including Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.

The judges were divided into two groups and assigned a group of categories. Projects were evaluated on the ability of the project team to overcome challenges, contribution to the industry and community, safety and construction and design quality. Due to the large number of entries, we can only honor a fraction of the projects that are submitted each year, so if your project didn’t win this year, please be sure to submit next year!

Judges could select any combination of Best Project-level category winners and Award of Merit honorees.

This year’s 2021 ENR MidAtlantic Best Projects winners are:
