Walsh Brothers, Partners Healthcare, Symmes Maini & McKee and Marr inducted to Hall of Fame

According to The Massachusetts Building Congress (MBC) four Boston-area companies have been inducted into the association's newly established Hall of Fame. Partners Healthcare, Walsh Brothers, Symmes Maini & McKee Associates and the Marr Cos. were inaugural inductees at the MBC's Annual Dinner October 10th held at the Marriott Copley in Boston. "For multiple generations, these four companies have contributed to the communities they work in and to the vitality of the building industry in Mass.," said Michael Reilly, president of the MBC and principal of Reilly Communications. "In a profession traditionally known for honoring buildings, the MBC directors decided to create a new Hall of Fame legacy award to permanently recognize organizations known for consistent leadership integrity and success," Reilly reports. MBC members include architects, engineers, construction managers, general contractors, subcontractors, owners/clients, professional service providers, labor unions, and professional/trade associations within the $27 billion Massachusetts building industry. The four Hall of Fame inductees were nominated by MBC members and selected by an awards jury. Companies need not be members of the MBC to be selected for the Hall of Fame; new inductee nominations will be solicited by the MBC every year.
