Hill International (NYSE:HIL) (Hill), the global leader in
managing construction risk, announced today that the Spokane
Riverfront Park U.S. Pavilion project has won the Design-Build
Institute of America’s (DBIA) 2020 Project of the Year and Best in
Design — Architecture Awards. DBIA presented the awards at their
virtual awards ceremony on Thursday, October 29. Hill provided
owner’s representative services for the Pavilion, which was
delivered using the Progressive Design-Build method.
The Pavilion was originally constructed for the
1974 World’s Fair. The project reimagined the iconic public
performance and park space centered around a 150-feet-tall angled
mast as the capstone for the wider Riverfront Park program. The
completed Pavilion includes several “wow” factors to draw people to
the park and offer them unique experiences. These factors include
color-changing LED light blades attached to the Pavilion’s mast
cables, the Elevated Experience (which provides visitors a high
vantage point where they can survey the entire Riverfront Park),
and dramatic fabric shade sails.
“It was an exceptional experience managing the
design-build process for this once-in-a-lifetime project,” says
Hill Vice President Matthew Walker, AIA, CCM, DBIA, who served as
the Hill team’s Project Manager. “We achieved the client’s goals
for this iconic structure thanks to the collaborative nature of the
progressive design-build delivery method. Early contractor and
specialty subcontractor involvement and a nimble design-build team
combined to accommodate numerous program changes during
construction, which was key to the project’s success.”
Hill Construction Manager Lorraine Mead, PE,
LEED AP, DBIA, concurred with Walker. “Progressive design-build was
key to making this project happen as the client envisioned. There
were many stakeholders and many moving parts, but the commitment of
the entire team to the project and the delivery method kept
everything together,” said Mead.
Prior to receiving the awards, the U.S. Pavilion
also earned a DBIA National Award of Merit, Civic Assembly, as well
as a 2020 National Achievement Award and 2020 Project of the Year
Award from the Construction Management Association of America and
the Landscape/Urban Development Best Project from Engineering
News-Record (ENR) Northwest.
“I can’t say enough about the Pavilion project
and about Matt and his team’s work for the Spokane Parks and
Recreation Department,” says Raouf Ghali, Hill International’s
Chief Executive Officer. “Hill has a long history in Spokane
working with the City to deliver high-profile public projects, but
this project is especially exciting for us. Thank you to the DBIA
for this honor and thank you to Matt and the entire Hill team. Well
done!”
