March 30, 2004—Excellence in public design ranging from courthouses to a forensic science laboratory took the spotlight recently during the U.S. General Services Administration’s 2004 Design Awards ceremony at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center.
The awards program is held every two years. A jury of private sector professionals chaired by architect Mack Scogin of Atlanta, Ga., reviewed more than 140 projects in 20 categories, such as architecture, preservation, engineering, art, workplace environment, urban design, sustainability and construction.
The list of 16 honor award and citation winners includes the forensic science and fire research laboratories for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives in Beltsville, Md.; the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.; the U.S. Port of Entry in Del Rio, Texas, and a number of courthouses across the nation.
