National Institute of Building Sciences

Mort Marshall led a long and distinguished career in the built environment. He was the first member of NIBS. His wife, Betty, was his biggest supporter. The Betty & Mort Marshall Memorial Scholarship was created in their memory and to celebrate and champion diversity in the building sciences. This year, we are proud to honor Damario Berry, who serves as an engineering intern with Walter P. Moore in DC. Congratulations, Damario! #BI2024
