South Hamilton, MA C.E. Floyd Company received an ABC MA Excellence in Construction Merit Award for its work on the Pingree School Athletic Center with Galanis Consulting and Olson Lewis + Architects.
During the preconstruction process, C.E. Floyd priced out several building options, including a highly customized pre-engineered metal building. In the end, Pingree selected the pre-engineered building, because it offered advantages with both the cost and clear span structure. The building could be delivered within budget without compromising on the high level of interior finishes the school wanted. At the same time, Olson Lewis + and C.E. Floyd were able to customize key exterior components of the building to give it a traditional look.
C.E. Floyd worked closely with Barnes Buildings, the metal building supplier, and a building envelope consultant to mesh the high-tech custom walls with the low-tech pre-engineered system. It was essential to ensure proper weatherproofing, flashing, and integration of the standard wall details with the air barrier technology, into the pre-engineered metal building and adjacent insulated metal panels.
Pingree School did not compromise on the high-end finishes inside the athletic center. The building includes a gymnasium with one competition basketball court and 3 practice courts, training room with whirlpool/tub room, locker rooms for Pingree, visitor locker rooms, referee locker rooms, equipment room, athletic offices and multipurpose room with stone fireplace.
C.E. Floyd has also built an academic wing addition, arts wing addition and dining commons renovation at Pingree School – all with Olson Lewis + Architects.
