In May 2017, the National Capital Chapter of the American Concrete Institute (NCC ACI) has named the Smithsonian National Zoo – General Services Building Stabilization project as one of their 2017 “Exposing Excellence in Concrete” award winners. It was further commended by the NCC ACI that receiving one of this year’s awards was an accomplishment in light of their having received a total of 19 different project entries competing for recognition.
