High-Altitude Research Laboratory (HARL) Wins Two Awards from the Design-Build Institute of America

The accolades continue for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Omaha District’s new High Altitude Research Laboratory (HARL) atop PikesPeak! It recently garnered top honors from the Design-Build Institute of America as Best Small Project and a Merit Award in the Federal Project category. (https://dbia.org/project/high-altitude-research-lab-best-small-projects/).

High altitude and mountainous terrains present a challenging environment and a unique opportunity for research and development. At 14,115 feet, this facility is the highest U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project in the world and one of the most remote. The new HARL replaces the old deficient structure and will enhance the United States Army’s ability to conduct medical research and prepare warfighters for battle.

Congratulations GE Johnson and to the entire design-build team!

Peak Vista Breakfast of Champions

RTA was proud to be a sponsor at the Peak Vista annual Breakfast of Champions fundraiser. The team had a great time hearing keynote speaker Greg Louganis, Olympic gold medal diver, share insight from his time at the Olympics and why holistic healthcare, kindness, and support are essential. Peak Vista’s dedication to helping those in need in our community by providing holistic healthcare and support services was clear when President and CEO Dr. Emily Ptaszek and several Peak Vista staff detailed the First Visitor program and Well Child Waiting areas. It was incredibly moving to hear several mothers describe the impact that receiving support and resources from the First Visitor program had on them and their children.
