At MCE, we believe in recognizing our exceptional employees' excellence. Having worked on this project from 2022 to 2024, Project Designer Ruxin Tao collaborated on the Basin Water Park Rehabilitation Plan for Eureka Springs, AR. Rehabilitation projects, like this one, are essential to ensure that modern improvements don’t erase the history that surrounds public spaces. Anticipating future needs is just as important as adopting current maintenance needs.
We are also proud that this project earned an award in the Historic Preservation category at the Central States ASLA Awards. All aspects of this historic conceptual feat involved research, understanding, and passion—all qualities that Tao exemplifies though his presentation.
Tao has been employed with MCE since 2022. Below is his project narrative and accompanying presentation. The Basin Water Park reopened May 2025 under the guidance of this project, and we are grateful to have been a part of it.
