ENR Northwest

ENR California & Northwest is thrilled to announce that John Schaufelberger, Dean Emeritus, College of Built Environments, and Professor Emeritus, Department of Construction Management, at the University of Washington, received ENR California & Northwest’s 2022 Legacy Award. Each year, ENR editors vote for recipients for regional Legacy Awards, which honor professionals who have contributed a substantial legacy of lifetime service to their colleagues and the A/E/C industry.

The City of Oakland, California, is moving forward with plans for redevelopment of the Howard Terminal, including a new stadium for the Oakland Athletics, after releasing a final Environmental Impact Report on Dec. 17, but not without pushback from residents and community groups. The city’s struggle over redevelopment, even with promises for affordable housing, is endemic of California’s struggle to meet affordable housing needs.

Each year, through ENR’s Regional Best Projects competition, the magazine highlights some of the area’s most innovative projects. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Northwest region, which includes Alaska, Oregon and Washington, continued to produce outstanding work, and a panel of judges selected 25 winners from the pool of projects that entered the competition.
