Education Projects win Structural Engineering Awards

The USC John McKay Center and LAUSD Valley Regional Middle School #3 Pedestrian Bridge earned top honors at this year’s Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) awards. The McKay Center is a flagship facility for USC’s student athletes and earned a Merit award for its multi-story design which includes a subterranean indoor football field. The LAUSD Middle School bridge was awarded an Award of Excellence for its cost-effective design and  innovative detailing. The project, while small in scale, serves as an important symbolic and functional infrastructure component that connects the new Middle School #3 with an existing LAUSD Polytechnic High School.
