on the Natron County High School Historic Renovations project in Casper, WY and the Estes Valley Community Recreation Center in Estes
Park, CO have earned two National Excellence
in Construction® Eagle Awards from Associated Builders and Contractors. Representatives from the company received the top honor March 27 during ABC’s 29th annual Excellence in Construction® Awards gala at ABC Convention 2019 in Long Beach, California.
Natrona County High School Historic Renovations project’s win came in the General Contractor Historical Restoration/Renovation - $25 to $100
million category. The 115,000-sf historic portion of the building was renovated to include an updated theater, classrooms and administrative spaces. Demolition of
later additions to the original building, allowed for the 145,000-sf addition to include a new gymnasium, kitchen, commons, library, classrooms and labs.
The Estes Valley Community Recreation Center project took home the award in the General Contractor Institutional - $10 to $25 million category. The project began with renovating the existing aquatic center and reopening it in December 2017 for use. The 52,756-sf multigenerational community space was built as a large addition and includes senior services, library resources, family amenities, meeting rooms and gathering spaces.
