BOLTON, Conn., Oct. 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The project team responsible for the construction and renovation effort at Bolton High School in Connecticut is the most recent recipient of Gilbane Building Company's Thomas and William Gilbane Project Achievement Award, which recognizes project teams that demonstrate excellence in every facet -- from quality to safety to client satisfaction. The Bolton High School project, completed in December, presented its share of challenges but Gilbane's team successfully met every demand while putting the needs of the students first and taking great care to not interfere with school operations while working on the occupied campus.

"Safety and security are first followed by Gilbane's ability to not interrupt the learning," said Joseph Maselli, Bolton High School Principal. "A true partner, Gilbane was always looking out for the children."

Throughout the duration of the 34,000 SF additions to the existing building and 55,000 SF renovation, done in five total phases to accommodate the school's 350 students, the school remained occupied and operational with minimal impact to classroom activities.

"Keeping students safe and staying on schedule were paramount on this project," notes Steve Kononchik, district manager at Gilbane. "With a foundation of great teamwork, the Bolton High School project team truly embodied Gilbane's core values and exemplified excellence in construction. Congratulations to them for this well-deserved recognition."

Project complexities included:

Using Gilbane's iBuild project management process, which provides a completely paperless process for construction with apps for mobile devices, the construction team collaborated heavily with the design team and Bolton High School to ensure a smooth project for everyone involved.
