ENGINEER OF THE YEAR

ACEC Washington honored John Rowland, P.E., FACEC, with the prestigious Engineer of the Year Award at the Engineering Excellence Awards. Rowland is the President of Notkin Mechanical Engineering in Seattle.

The award is equivalent to a Lifetime Achievement Award, bestowed annually to an engineer who most demonstrates service and integrity in the engineering profession.

A practicing mechanical engineer for 38 years, and a partner at Notkin since 1985, Rowland is an expert in the healthcare field and developed and regularly updated healthcare facility standards that were adopted by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services. He served on the DSHS Code Committee which reviews and revises hospital minimum standards for construction. He has participated on numerous technical advisory committees for energy code revisions including Seattle’s 2006 Energy Code Revision. In addition, under his guidance of Notkin Mechanical Engineers, the firm has grown from 18 to 40 employees in the last five years.

Congratulations to John Rowland, ACEC Washington’s Engineer of the Year.
