Twenty-four MCAA Student Chapters submitted a proposal for the Kansas City Zoo Aquarium project. Congratulations to the Final Four and Merit Award teams. Final Four teams will present their proposals on the afternoon of Tuesday, March 19th at MCAA24 in Orlando, FL.
This is the 23rd year of the MCAA Student Chapter Competition and the student teams were asked to submit a proposal as the prime mechanical contractor for the Kansas City Zoo Aquarium. This included all piping, HVAC, Controls, and additional work required from the bid documents. Teams were also tasked with purchasing the equipment, materials and providing all the necessary labor and equipment to complete the entire project scope.
Thank you to the following companies for their special contributions to the competition project:
MMC Contractors National Inc. (supplying the project)
