MOLINE, ILLINOIS - [May 21, 2010] Shive-Hattery won the Merit Award in the building/technology systems category for engineering excellence from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Illinois.

The Merit Award was given for the window replacement on Building 220 at the Rock Island Arsenal. The building houses a manufacturing process. The original window system in the three-story, 90-year-old building, had seriously deteriorated. Shive-Hattery provided high-definition (3D) scanning to get fast and accurate window measurements. Design and installation of the new windows took place without any disruption to the manufacturing process while maintaining a safe workplace.

Shive-Hattery is an architectural and engineering firm headquartered out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and has offices in West Des Moines and Iowa City, Iowa; Moline, Bloomington, and Downers Grove, Illinois; and Chesterfield, Missouri. For more information, visit www.shive-hattery.com.
