American Concrete Institute On May 3rd, 2021, the American Concrete Institute (ACI) opened the ACI Resource Center – Southern California in San Bernardino, Calif. While the center opened briefly in Fall 2020, it was forced to close weeks later due to COVID-19-related restrictions. The May opening represents a relaunch not only for the San Bernardino location but for a nationwide ACI Resource Center initiative. Two additional centers are planned, one in the midwestern U.S. (in the greater Chicago area) opening later this year, and one on the East Coast in 2022. ACI Resource Centers will serve as a place for the trades, engineers, contractors, designers, and anyone seeking a career and knowledge in the concrete industry to advance their concrete knowledge. These locations reinforce ACI’s role as a leading authority and resource worldwide for the development, dissemination, and adoption of its consensus-based standards, technical resources, educational and training opportunities, and certification programs.
