Rothko Chapel Recognized for Preservation Excellence

Following its monumental renovation and restoration, the Rothko Chapel received a Good Brick Award from Preservation Houston at its 2022 Cornerstone Dinner. Founded with the mission to honor and protect the city's historically rich landscape, Preservation Houston awarded Rothko Chapel with the Martha Peterson Award for successfully breathing new life into the 50-year-old space and fulfilling artist Mark Rothko's original vision. Today, Rothko Chapel features a new custom skylight, enhanced interior lighting, and updated structural support that will allow it to stand tall for the next 50 years.

Houston Project Voted Best of the Year

At their 2021 Excellence in Construction Awards, the American Subcontractors Association-Houston Chapter (ASA-HC) awarded Linbeck first place in the $15-$25 Million category for our YES Prep Southside Elementary and Home Office Building project. Nominated and voted on by members of the subcontracting community, this top award is considered an honor for Linbeck, as it illustrates the strong relationships we have maintained with our subcontracting partners, those we consider critical to every project we undertake.

For more than 15 years, Linbeck has partnered with YES Prep Public Schools, standing by their mission to prepare students for college and the professional world--regardless of background or financial constraints. This recent award by ASA-HC is a testament to Linbeck's longstanding commitment to the local institution and those who help lead it. We are humbled and look forward to continuing to build up our communities!

Projects Receive Regional and National Recognition

Engineering News Record recognized two Linbeck projects with a total of four awards in their 2021 Best Projects Awards. Rice University's Brockman Hall for Opera and the University of Texas at Dallas' Sciences Building were each spotlighted by the engineering and construction magazine for their exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and overall execution.

Brockman Hall for Opera took home a regional Award of Merit in the Cultural/Worship category, while the Sciences Building received a regional award in the HIgher Education/Research category, as well as an Award of Merit for Excellence in Safety. In 2022, ENR also honored the Sciences Building with a national Best of the Best Project Award in the Higher Education/Research category, making it one of the top 20 projects across the country.
