V3 Companies of Illinois has received a Special Achievement designation from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Illinois for its campus redevelopment project at College of DuPage.
The honor came as a result of entry into ACEC-IL's 38th annual Engineering Excellence Awards competition. The College's recent overhaul to its parking, roadway and landscaping as part of the extensive Facilities Master Plan resulted in the selection for the Special Achievement designation.
The V3 plan resulted in more green space, increased parking and better flow of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic throughout the College's Glen Ellyn campus.
"(V3's) focus on sustainable designs provided significant amounts of landscaping within the parking lots while still providing the parking needed to operate our facility," Knoble wrote in her nomination letter. "V3's vision (created) a sense of place and an aesthetic that brings the surrounding natural environment throughout the campus."
