Metro Walls received two awards at the 2021 Associated Builders and Contractors New Hampshire/Vermont Chapter’s (ABC NH/VT) Excellence in Construction Awards reception held on October 14, 2021.
Metro Walls received the Excellence Award in the Institutional/Public $5-$10 million category for their role in the construction and completion of Morse High School in Bath, Maine. Their exceptional craftsmanship, coordination, and creative use of efficient manpower contributed to the project being met on time and within budget. The 289,000-sf building, which will accommodate students from Bath and seven surrounding towns, includes a two-tiered auditorium, two gyms, and vocational school with cosmetology and culinary divisions.
In addition, Metro Walls received the Merit Award in the Commercial $2-$5 million category for their role in The Orpheum Apartments project located in Dover, NH. This 157,000-sf, five-story building includes 130 apartment units, nearly 100 covered and surface parking spaces, a rooftop lounge and terrace, and panoramic views of downtown Dover. Among the high-end finishes, wooden ceilings were installed in the main entry showcasing the intricate acoustic work of Metro Walls’ ACT team.
The Excellence in Construction Awards (EiC) honors contractors for their innovative, complex, and high-quality construction projects measured by a variety of criteria including safety, complexity, attractiveness, unique challenges overcome, cost, and completion time. The EiC awards honor all members of the construction team including contractor, owner, architect, and engineer, and the winning projects were selected by a panel of judges made up of industry experts.
“We are excited to be chosen as the recipient of two distinguished ABC awards,” said EVP of Metro Walls, Bryan Hussey. “To be recognized by our industry peers for our team’s workmanship, collaboration, and dedication to the success of these projects is an honor and a recognition we are extremely proud of.”
