ACEC AWARD – LACLEDE’S LANDING PROJECT |
We are proud to announce that CDG was the recent winner of the ACEC Grand Award for Category 1: Special Projects for our work with the LCRA on the Laclede’s Landing Improvement project.
The project is located in the historic Laclede’s Landing area of downtown St. Louis adjacent to the Mississippi River. The Laclede’s Landing Improvement Project focused on upgrading ADA accessibility, pedestrian walkability, safety enhancements utilizing LED street lighting, and the sustainable reconstruction of the cobblestone pavement along the 1st Street and 2nd Street corridors. The design schedule for a project this size, usually 12 months in duration, was shortened to under 6 months due to funding daylighting requiring forfeiture and repayment. The construction schedule was also required to be aggressive to meet strict funding deadlines all during the pandemic. The project implementation is a testament to the cooperation of the project stakeholders, reviewing agencies, area residents and businesses, utility companies and the contractors. The historic significance of the area offered a unique perspective on the design, construction and completion of this project.

ROBOTICS TEAM SPONSORSHIP |
At CDG we like to get involved in STEM mentorships as often as time allows. This year we sponsored a robotics team from Marquette High School (located in Chesterfield, Missouri). The team won 1st place for the Think Award because of the physics calculations that were shown in their engineering portfolio for the robot. Because of their innovative and strong design, they qualified for the state competition where they placed 2nd overall for the Think Award.
