Metro Walls receives multiple Excellence in Construction Awards

Manchester, NH Metro Walls was recognized by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of New Hampshire/Vermont and Massachusetts chapters at their Excellence in Construction Awards with multiple awards.

Metro Walls received an Excellence Award in the Specialty Contractor - Exterior category for their role in the completion of Salem Heights in Salem, Mass. Their logistical coordination around the installation of the specialty 5-in-1 Composite Panel ArmorWall System, tiered interior renovation plan to accommodate the building’s occupants, and safety precautions and programs played a role in the success of this project. Their dedication to safety, customer satisfaction, and workmanship is evident through the work provided on this project. This 265,000 s/f complex is comprised of 283 units across two high-rise buildings, 15 new ADA compliant apartments, and an upgraded amenity space for current and future residents. 

Metro Walls was also awarded the Excellence in Construction Merit Award in the Specialty Contractor – Interiors category for their role in the Southbridge Mills project, located in Southbridge, Mass. Metro Walls’ ability to quickly adapt to unforeseen circumstances, their experience of working through challenges that old mill buildings bring, and their strategic approach to pre-planning contributed to the overall completion of this affordable housing apartment complex. Originally built in 1888, this three-story, 70,000 s/f building will now offer residents of the city affordable housing with modern amenity space, a fitness area, and 48 upgraded units.
