Join the Durham School and its Construction Industry Advisory Council as we honor the academic achievements, leadership, and service of our students, faculty, and alumni at the annual Construction Programs Awards and Recognition Banquet.

This year marks our 60th (Diamond) Anniversary, a journey spanning from our inception in 1966 to our current standing in 2026. From laying our foundational "first bricks" six decades ago to becoming a modern powerhouse in Construction Management and Construction Engineering, the Durham School has built more than just structures—we have built the leaders who drive the industry.

We invite you to join us for this historic milestone at the Crete Carrier Riverview Lodge. This evening is more than a banquet; it is a tribute to the students, alumni, and industry partners who have cemented our reputation for excellence. Together, we will highlight the program’s transformative impact on the field and our unwavering commitment to educational innovation.

Join the Celebration! Be a part of the foundation for our next 60 years. Help us honor our past and engineer our future as we celebrate six decades of education, service, and leadership.

We look forward to celebrating this legacy with you!
