Reece-Campbell, Inc. Award Winner along with Team Partner Hixson Architecture Engineering Interiors
CINCINNATI, OHIO (March 22, 2010) Reece-Campbell, Inc., a leading Cincinnati, Ohio based general contractor recently won recognition for their part in CANstruction, a national effort to raise food and money for the benefit of the FREESTORE FOODBANK, a non-profit foundation providing food and services for people in crisis. Reece-Campbell, Inc. partnered with AIA member Hixson Architecture Engineering Interiors on their 2010 entry entitled “CANosaurus”, recognized for Structural Ingenuity. Using nearly 5,800 cans, the team built a structure in the shape of a Brontosaurus---their mission: to make hunger “Extinct”.
Between the food items donated for admission to the exhibit and the goods donated from the 12 participating firms, over 53,000 cans of food were collected for the FREESTORE FOODBANK.
Reece-Campbell, Inc. and Hixson Architecture Engineering Interiors have partnered for 7 years and won awards for every year they have participated in the competition. In 2006, the team won the National Award for Structural Ingenuity, an honor which had not been previously awarded in the Cincinnati Chapter.
As winners in the 2010 competition, Reece-Campbell, Inc. /Hixson Architecture Engineering Interiors team will be entered into the national competition later this year.
The following is the team mission statement:
Hunger dates back to the days of Prehistoric times. Many people search for food just as the dinosaurs once did. We need to reach out to new heights in our donations to the hungry and we too can make hunger EXTINCT.
