The National Council of Structural Engineers Associations (NCSEA) is pleased to share winners of the 2024 Excellence in Structural Engineering (SEE) Awards, which were announced during NCSEA’s Structural Engineering Summit, held November 5-8, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The winning entries recognize the most innovative and groundbreaking work of our profession’s top talents. The winners were honored at the Summit during a special awards celebration sponsored by Atlas Tube. The winning projects can also be viewed throughout 2025 during the free, in-depth SEE Awards Webinar Series sponsored by Atlas Tube at www.ncsea.com.
Awards were given in eight categories, with an Outstanding Project awarded in each of the following categories:
- New Buildings under $30 Million
- New Buildings $30 Million to $80 Million
- New Buildings $80 Million to $200 Million
- New Buildings over $200 Million
- New Bridges and Transportation Structures
- Forensic | Renovation | Retrofit | Rehabilitation
Structures under $20 Million - Forensic | Renovation | Retrofit | Rehabilitation
Structures over $20 Million - Other Structures
Judging for each category was completed in two phases. The first round was completed virtually by a group of NCSEA Past Presidents and the second round was conducted by structural engineers from the Northeast Coalition. Judges selected the winning structures based on complexity of criteria or unique problems; creativity of structural design; innovative application of new or existing materials or techniques; commitment to sustainability through efficient use of materials, resilience, circular economy principles, or embodied carbon reduction; and ingenuity of design for constructability challenges and efficient use of labor.
Along with each category award, an overall 2024 Structure of the Year award was selected from the eight Outstanding Projects based on votes by the judging panel and individual attendees of the NCSEA Summit. Voters compared each project based on the complexities and ingenuity required. The winner was announced by the 2024 Awards Committee Chair Carrie Johnson, (Wallace Design Collective, PC, Tulsa, OK).
“We introduced an exciting new voting method for this year’s award,” Johnson said during the awards ceremony. “This innovative approach allowed both the NCSEA Awards Committee and the general audience to select this year’s winner. By combining insights and feedback from industry professionals, we wanted to create a more inclusive and representative selection process. We believe this change reflects the collaborative spirit of our community and enhances the significance of this prestigious award.
