LEO A DALY Receives Engineering Award for Underground Pedestrian Connection
The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Minnesota awarded architecture and engineering firm LEO A DALY an Engineering Excellence Award for its work on The Connection—an underground pedestrian link at Minnesota State University, Mankato. The award, given under the structural systems category, was presented during the Excellence Awards Banquet at the Commons Hotel in Minneapolis, January 30, 2015.
The 140-foot long, 12-foot wide Connection links Minnesota State Mankato’s Memorial Library and the recently renovated Centennial Student Union (CSU), providing sheltered passage to students and faculty during the harsh weather common to the area. This is especially helpful to meet the needs of those with physical challenges.
