The Pike Co. honored at Conn. Building Congress Project Team Awards
According to The Pike Co., they were part of the Sports and Medical Sciences Academy project team that won the first-place award in the "K-12 Schools - New or Renovation" category of the 2009 Connecticut Building Congress Project Team Awards. In its 13th year, the awards ceremony recognizes design, teamwork, problem solving and timelines among participants in the construction process.
Pike provided cost estimating services for the $71 million project, adopting a close collaboration with the other team members that improved the quality of it. The expansion and renovation created a new, 158,000 s/f Sports and Medical Sciences Academy that became home to 725 students when it officially opened almost one year ago.
The school is equipped with 9 science labs, a broadcasting studio, a full size gymnasium and a field house with a rock-climbing wall. The theme of the Sports and Medical Sciences Academy is to interest students in pursuing higher education to study all fields related to sports: medicine, physiology, broadcasting, management, research, nutrition and fitness.
DuBose Associates Architects designed the project, and Diggs Construction was the project manager.
