Please join us in congratulating the MGM National Harbor team for winning Second Place in the Mid-Rise Buildings category at the 2019 Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards Gala during The ACI Concrete Convention and Exposition, October 21, 2019, in Cincinnati, OH!! ACI recognized a total of 12 winners across the world!

The National Capital Chapter nominates the winners of our Excellence in Concrete Awards to compete against concrete projects around the world at the ACI National level. It is a great honor to be among these outstanding leaders in our industry and even greater so to have a winning project!

Project Details:  The MGM Resort at National Harbor is a 3.4 million ft² (315,900 m²) project that includes a 5000-space parking structure. A podium on top of the parking structure is angled and clad with white precast panels so that it looks like the monuments around the National Mall. The hotel is a 24-story, narrow structure that is meant to evoke images of the Washington Monument. The project required 2.9 million ft² (269,400 m²) of cast-in-place elevated deck supported by architecturally exposed columns and walls.
