The American Concrete Institute (ACI) announced the winners of the 2020 Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards. They were honored during the institute’s virtual concrete convention.

Excellence award, was presented to the Kennedy Center Expansion Project, Washington, D.C. The project, known as the REACH, consists of three new buildings—the Welcome, Skylight, and River Pavilions—situated on the 1.9-ha (4.6-acre) campus along the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. Each structure features titanium-white board-formed concrete, sweeping curves, and crisp clean lines complementing the existing monument.

The Welcome, Skylight, and River Pavilions are all interconnected below-grade rcs data under a green roof where visitors can meander through the labyrinth of concrete curves. Multiple board form patterns and custom ‘crinkle’ form liners add to the texture of the architectural concrete both above and below-grade. While the ‘crinkle’ concrete creates an acoustic effect in the performance and rehearsal rooms and creates a stunning visual effect.
