The North Scottsdale Park & Ride has been selected as a winner of a 2014 Scottsdale Environmental Design Awards (SEDA). Based on the SEDA Jury determination, the project received the award because it was aesthetically expressive and incorporated a variety of sustainable technologies.

SEDA is a biennial program. DWL received the Design Award in 2012 for the Appaloosa Branch Library in North Scottsdale.
