The Massachusetts Building Congress (MBC) honored three 2010 MBC Hall of Fame inductees, Shawmut Design and Construction, CBT Architects, and Barker Steel, for the legacy contributions each has made to the building industry, clients and the community. The Hall of Fame induction ceremony was held during the MBC's annual dinner gala October 13 at the Seaport Hotel. Shawmut, CBT and Barker Steel join eight other MBC Hall of Fame companies inducted since the Hall was established in 2007: Walsh Brothers, Symmes Maini & McKee Associates, Partners Healthcare, S&F Concrete Construction, Bond Brothers, J.C. Cannistraro, Boston University, William A. Berry, Wentworth Institute of Technology and The Marr Companies. Mark David, MBC president and managing director of Jones Lang LaSalle, described the MBC Hall of Fame as "a place where we permanently recognize and honor the best in the industry for their innovation, consistent leadership, community responsibility and client service. These organizations provide ample inspiration for others to follow." MBC members include architects, engineers, construction managers, general contractors, subcontractors, owners/clients, professional service providers, labor unions, and professional/trade associations within the design and construction industry.
