Charlottesville, VA – Every year the Modular Building Institute (MBI) sponsors its prestigious Awards of Distinction contest, presented at World of Modular, its annual convention & tradeshow. As the only industry contest of its kind, MBI’s Awards of Distinction reviews commercial modular building entries submitted by MBI member companies. Entries are judged in the areas of architectural excellence, technical innovation, efficiency and length of project. The highlight of the contest is the Best of Show category, where awards are conferred by industry peers for what they collectively recognize as the best modular structures in the business.
