The University of Wisconsin-Madison Bakke Recreation & Wellbeing Center, submitted by Kahler Slater and HOK, received a Merit Award.

IMEG also provided structural engineering design for the Merit-Award winning One Community Bank in Cottage Grove, submitted by OPN Architects. The building’s roof plane extends over the drive-through lanes, clerestory windows in the entry and main lobby, and staff offices and conference rooms strategically located around the central lobby.
