Olsson wins prestigious ENR Award
 

By Linda Van Hoosen, Communications

Olsson Associates was recognized this week for its efforts following the destructive EF-5 tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri, on May 22, 2011. Olsson is the recipient of the Engineering News-Record (ENR) 2015 Midwest's Best Projects award in health care. The award was presented November 19 in Chicago.

The tornado destroyed lives, homes, and many buildings, including St. John's Hospital. Olsson was called into action to provide emergency engineering services for a new facility. Through Olsson's involvement, Mercy Hospital opened its doors in March 2015.

Jared Rasmussen, Olsson's project leader, saw the devastation first hand. He and his team were immediately involved in building Mercy Hospital and repairing other infrastructure damaged by the storm.

Olsson Associates is extremely proud to be a part of the Joplin community and to be a recipient of this award-winning project.

Akins wasn't alone in his opinion when Olsson's work on the project won an American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Engineering Excellence Award for the Colorado region.

This is the first time in ACEC of Colorado's 45-year history that it has given an Engineering Excellence award to a UAS project.
