ABC Connecticut awards KBE Building Corp. with three prestigious honors.
New London, CT, February 2, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Connecticut College students and staff members have already expressed their admiration for the Charles E. Shain Library. Now its construction team has been officially recognized with an award from the Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc (ABC) – Connecticut Chapter.
Staff members from KBE Building Corporation (KBE), Construction Manager at Risk for the renovation, received the 2016 Excellence in Construction Award (Institutional) at the Chapter’s 14th Annual Excellence in Construction awards ceremony, held at Aquaturf in Southington on January 28, 2016. KBE also received the “Best of the Best” General Contractor Safety Award, the most prominent safety award in the state, and the Spirit Award at Thursday’s ceremony.
The Shain Library project comprised 41,000 square feet of renovations to the existing 3-story library, plus 4,600 square feet of additions, including a new 3-story entrance with clerestory, enlarged windows, and mechanical and electrical upgrades.
The renovation was carefully planned and executed with zero injuries, zero claims – and delivery three months ahead of schedule.
