New Britain, CT S/L/A/M Construction Services (SLAM CS) has received a Design-Build Institute of America New England (DBIA - NE) Gold Award for the out-patient suite renovation at the Hospital of Central CT. SLAM CS accepted the award at the 2019 DBIA New England Region Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner held on January 21st, at the Sheraton Framingham, Mass.

The award is given to a design-build project that best demonstrates team collaboration and innovation, efficiency and value. SLAM’s design build team exemplified these attributes by creating great value for the client through a single point of contact for design and construction.

The integrated design and construction team at SLAM worked with project and facility managers at Hartford Healthcare’s Hospital of Central Connecticut to design, budget and build several outpatient suites on the first floor of the main hospital. The project included a complete gut and renovation of outdated spaces, all done within an occupied floor. The new clinical spaces include a maternal fetal suite, spine center and cardiac rehabilitation suite.
