SSPC George Campbell Award

SSPC George Campbell Award

This award was named in honor of the late George Campbell, founder of Campbell Painting Company in New York. It honors outstanding achievement in the completion of a difficult or complex industrial or commercial coatings project.

The qualities that may represent achievement in a difficult or complex structure may include work occurring in harsh or extreme environmental conditions; work completed under strict time constraints, work done with limited access or in high traffic areas; work on a structure with complex structural components; or a project that requires coordination with multiple trades or subcontractors.
