Busy day in Onslow yesterday!
A “Topping-Out Ceremony” was led yesterday by County Manager, David Cotton. He reminded us of the traditions behind the topping out ceremony and the importance of this milestone on such an important project for the County. County Commissioners, Courthouse Staff, Design and Construction Team members all signed the final beam before it was raised into place.
We are very proud to accept an AIA Triangle Honor Award for the Morrow Mountain State Park Boathouse!
Located on Lake Tillery, this facility serves as the rowboat and canoe launch for the park. The design of the facility drew upon the rich history of the park, as well as its scenic opportunity. Existing stonework was reused and juxtaposed with new glulam structure to create a transition point on the lake. The rental shop, launch zone, and boat storage areas are all nestled in a large open area under a standing seam metal roof.
Thank you to the Design Awards Committee, as well as Julie Snow, FAIA & her jury.
Congratulations to all the AIAT Design Award winners.
Another full day of punch-listing at the Consolidated Human Services Agency Building in Onslow County yesterday. Three Smith Sinnett team members reviewed every exterior face of the building, which is a surface area of over 98,000 SF including exterior walls, windows, building canopies, site walls, and the roof!
Earlier this week, in beautiful Wrightsville Beach, was the state conference for the NC Chapter of the Association for Learning Environments. The keynote address was given by Manuel Scott, one of the original Freedom Writers. Rhonda is this year’s Chapter President & Ed gave a talk on Dixon Middle School.
