DENVER (September 16, 2025) –PCL Construction proudly announces its achievement of three National Awards from the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) recognizing exceptional project delivery along the West Coast. These prestigious honors celebrate the dedication and innovation of PCL’s teams in delivering high-quality projects that exemplify excellence in design-build execution.
The DBIA National Awards of Merit are among the most respected accolades in the design and construction industry. Each year, DBIA jurors evaluate submissions based on key criteria such as innovative design solutions, team-based design-build strategies, adherence to budget and schedule, and overall design and construction excellence. The DBIA Oregon Project Excellence Award recognizes only the most outstanding design-build projects across various sectors, including government, educational, healthcare, and commercial buildings throughout the Pacific Northwest.
PCL’s award-winning projects include:
Orange County Health Care Agency Marine Way Campus
National Award of Merit
PCL showcased its expertise and innovative strategies by integrating key public health divisions—Emergency Medical Services, Public Health Laboratory, and Community and Nursing Services—into a single emergency-ready facility. As the largest design-build project in Orange County, this initiative relied on collaborative teamwork to deliver this in just 24 months on a fast-tracked schedule.
Clackamas County Circuit Courthouse
Two Awards: Project Excellence Award - Government and National Award of Merit
Standing as Oregon’s first public-private partnership courthouse, this project showcases a collaborative “One Team” approach that emphasizes sustainability and transparency. With LEED Gold goals and innovative features like all-electric systems and secure, accessible spaces, it sets a new standard for civic infrastructure.
“From Orange County to Clackamas County, these awards show what can happen when innovation meets collaboration. Whether uniting critical health services under one emergency-ready roof or redefining civic infrastructure through sustainability and partnerships, these projects set a new benchmark for public service excellence,” said Deron Brown, president and chief operating officer, U.S. Operations.
