Congratulations to Chicago ACE Mentor Program’s Team 1 on winning the 2015 CIRT/ ACE National Competition with their “Park City” Project.   Team 1’s win marks Chicago’s first ACE National Competition win and cash prize for the Chicago ACE Mentor Program.  Team 1 was one of only of three teams selected to compete in the finals in Washington DC on Monday, April 27.

“The quality and level of the entries were the strongest they have ever been in the nine year history of the competition, making the job of the judges all that more difficult,” commented CIRT President Mark Casso.

Team 1 is particularly grateful to their sponsoring firms – Arcadis, Clune Construction, Gilbane, Sargent & Lundy, and VOA who provided the funding to enable the students to travel to the competition.

Way to go Team 1.  Thank you for your hard work and great representation of ACE Chicago!
