A university building where students learn about concrete, an eye-catching high-rise in Canada, and a location in Nebraska made famous by an Oscar-winning movie are some of the captivating projects honored with 2025 PCI Design Awards, presented by the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI). Winning projects were recognized on February 6 at the 2025 PCI Convention in Indianapolis, Ind. PCI publications, including Ascent, PCI Journal, and ASPIRE magazines, will also feature the winning projects.
For 62 years, the PCI Design Awards have showcased and recognized creative and innovative uses of precast concrete. Panels of engineers, architects, and precast concrete producers judge all submittals. The buildings and transportation categories are judged on aesthetic, structural, and use versatility; site, energy and operational efficiency, and risk reduction; and resiliency, such as structure durability, multi-hazard protection, and life safety and health. View all of this year’s winners and honorable mentions.
Several projects are also honored with special awards. These are judged on similar criteria to the building and transportation projects, as well as additional requirements, including industry advancement, sustainable design, technology, and designs using all-precast concrete solutions. These are the Harry H. Edwards Industry Advancement Award, the Building Information Modeling (BIM) Award, the Sustainable Design Award, and the All-Precast Concrete Solution Award.
“This year’s winning projects leave no doubt that precast concrete is the construction material of choice for a wide variety of building and transportation projects,” said PCI President and CEO Bob Risser, P.E. “The projects demonstrate precast concrete’s superior sustainable, resilient, aesthetic attributes. Congratulations to all of the winners.”
