Mount Sinai Behavioral Health Center Project Recognized for Engineering Excellence

Honoring Engineering Excellence in Adaptive Reuse

The award honors exemplary engineering achievement and highlights the project’s successful adaptive reuse of a long-vacant historic building into a modern behavioral health center. Originally constructed in 1898, the 135,000-square-foot, six-story structure required a comprehensive transformation to meet today’s healthcare, safety, and operational standards.

We were honored alongside Syska Hennessy, HKS, Inc., and Lendlease for the team’s work on the complex project. The renovation required innovative, constructable solutions to integrate modern building systems within the constraints of the historic structure, including major rooftop mechanical systems, emergency power support for critical inpatient areas, and specialized patient-safety features throughout the facility.

The ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards recognize projects based on uniqueness, originality, technical innovation, social and economic value, and contributions to the engineering profession. Winners will be celebrated at the 2026 EEA Gala on May 5, 2026, in Washington, DC.
