Bethlehem Inn announced it received one of three Grand Awards presented at the 2020 Engineering Excellence Awards Ceremony at the Multnomah Athletic Club on January 30, 2020.
In 2017, Bethlehem Inn found itself in need of more space and a complete redesign of its 1960’s motel. A decision was made to partner with RH2 Engineering to provide the necessary engineering design and construction management services for the redevelopment of the site. The Inn successfully completed its campus rebuild in the summer of 2019.
Each year, the American Council of Engineering Companies of Oregon judge projects that demonstrate an exceptional degree of innovation, complexity, achievement and value. It is rare for the ACEC to recognize a project like Bethlehem Inn that addresses such critical social need, which is also championed by civic leaders together with the community.
Bethlehem Inn has also been honored through recognition awards from:
- OHCS — 2019 Organization Award of Merit
- COBA — 2018 Nonprofit of the Year
- COAR — 2018 Best Rebuild of an Essential Central Oregon Facility
- Environmental Center — 2018 Exemplar Sustainability Award
