Thank you to EllisDon EllisDon Corporation for being a continuous supporter of our team and a Platinum sponsor this year! We truly appreciate your ongoing contributions and generosity. Below is some information about EllisDon:

EllisDon is an employee-owned construction services company with an annual revenue of over $8 billion. We have grown beyond their modest origins in London, Ontario in 1951, empowered by a strong horizontal organizational structure. This structure boosts employee satisfaction by providing increased autonomy, optimized resource use, and enhanced flexibility—all of which have been instrumental to our growth. With 5,000 salaried and hourly employees across 15 national and international offices, we have become a leader in every sector and nearly every part of the construction industry. Our presence in British Columbia took off in 1983, as we began the construction of Canada Harbour Place (now Canada Place) in downtown Vancouver. Completed in the spring of 1986 and serving as the host Pavilion for Expo that same year, Canada Harbour Place provided an anchor for our name on the West Coast. Over 40 years later, we have constructed and renovated over 100 facilities across the province and we are only getting started.

After competing alongside 47 universities from around the world, we are proud to announce that we have placed 🏅 6TH OVERALL 🏅 in this year’s annual EERI Undergraduate Seismic Design Competition, hosted at the Oregon Convention Centre.

Notably, we placed 1st in presentation, reflecting our strong presenters who beautifully handled the judges’ questions and our well-designed slides with striking visuals. We achieved 2nd in overall communications score, showcasing our team’s meticulous efforts in our design proposal and poster deliverables as well. Furthermore, we received 5th in damper proposal for our innovative elastic-friction damper that uses 3D printed parts and dental elastics. Most importantly, our tower survived the big shake with ease! Overall, our team placed competitively in all categories and we had a very successful, well-rounded year.

We would like to thank our industry sponsors for their support, as they made this invaluable learning experience possible. We also deeply appreciate our faculty advisors for mentoring us along the way.

Meet our 2026 captain, Fiona! This is her fourth year of civil engineering and fourth year on the team. During her down time, she enjoys baking a variety of treats and settling down in the sun with a good book.

She is very proud of the team after seeing the outcome of this year’s dedication and hard work in Portland, and will always look back fondly on her time as captain.
