ENR New York Awards
Best K-12 Education Project: Alice Dodge Wallace ’38 Center for Performing Arts
Consigli transformed Emma Willard School’s historic, century-old Alumnae Chapel into a state-of-the-art performing arts center and community hub, preserving 80% of the original structure to avoid 6,000 metric tons of embodied carbon. The renovation restored the limestone façade, slate roof, and baroque organ while adding a 20,000-square-foot subterranean arts wing beneath a green roof to expand theater, music, and dance resources—all designed for enhanced acoustics, sustainability and modern functionality.

K-12 Education Award of Merit: Allen Center for the Creative Arts and Technology
Hackley School’s Allen Center for the Creative Arts and Technology is a new 50,000 sq. ft. hub for creative learning, complete with a 550-seat auditorium, black box theater, art gallery and advanced digital media labs. Built with 700 tons of steel to achieve its striking curvature and cantilevers, the LEED Gold-certified facility integrates layered acoustic systems and a rainwater harvesting green roof for sustainability. Consigli overcame significant site challenges, including excavating more than 15,000 cubic yards of granite and installing over 300 rock nails for stabilization, while minimizing disruption to campus operations.

Restoration/Renovation Award of Merit: NYBCe Consolidated Campus
To create New York Blood Center (NYBC) Enterprises’ first-ever consolidated campus, Consigli transformed the former Avon headquarters into a 185,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility that houses NYBC’s lifesaving research, blood collection, and cell therapy manufacturing operations. The adaptive reuse project integrated 600+ pieces of lab equipment within the existing footprint, leveraging five low-clearance mechanical mezzanines and advanced laser scanning for precision. Featuring high-efficiency heat pumps with heat recovery and a specialized vivarium, the facility sets a new standard for sustainable laboratory design in urban environments.

ENR New England Awards
Best Higher Education/Research Project: Ragon Institute of Mass General Brigham, MIT and Harvard
Ragon 2.0 in Kendall Square creates a 323,000-square-foot hub for cutting-edge medical research, featuring advanced wet and dry labs, tissue culture rooms, and a vivarium. Its centerpiece—a dramatic single-helix staircase—connects collaborative spaces within a complex façade of 15 systems, 120,000 square feet of curtain wall, and a mass timber skylight. Built on a tight urban site with extensive prefabrication and design-assist coordination, the LEED Gold-certified, all-electric-ready building exceeds efficiency goals by 60%, incorporating triple-pane glazing, heat recovery systems, and a vegetated roof for sustainability and urban ecology.

Energy/Industrial Award of Merit: UNH Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Tank
Consigli and its energy division, Arch Energy, delivered a 1.4-million-gallon Thermal Energy Storage (TES) tank for the University of New Hampshire—an innovative solution equivalent to a 15,000-kWh battery. Designed to store 10,400 ton-hours of chilled water for release during peak demand, the $10.3 million project significantly reduces energy costs and environmental impact. Delivered using a design-build approach, the team overcame confined-space and high-angle challenges with enhanced safety protocols and community training. As a cornerstone of UNH’s WildCAP climate action plan, the TES tank sets a model for higher education decarbonization and long-term sustainability.

Project teams recognized by ENR’s panel of judges were evaluated on their ability to overcome challenges, contribute to industry innovation and benefit the community, as well as overall excellence in design, construction and safety execution.

Award-winning projects and teams will be honored at regional event celebrations this winter, as well as featured in ENR’s November issue.

An innovative adaptive reuse project, Consigli Construction Co., Inc. transformed the former Avon corporate headquarters into a new, state-of-the-art hub for NYBC, bringing its tri-state operations – including lifesaving research, blood collections, processing and cell therapy manufacturing – into its first-ever consolidated campus.

The 185,000-square-foot facility underwent a comprehensive transformation to accommodate more than 600 pieces of laboratory equipment within its existing footprint. Unable to expand outward, the project team maximized every square inch of interior space while integrating complex building systems into five mechanical mezzanines, each with only 7 feet of slab-to-deck height. Early laser scanning and fast-tracked demolition provided precise as-built conditions, enabling efficient design and installation.

Sustainability was a key focus, with high-efficiency air source heat pumps featuring heat recovery supporting both heating and cooling—setting a benchmark for sustainable laboratory design in urban environments. The project also included a vivarium constructed as a concrete masonry unit structure within the existing building, featuring a cast-in-place concrete deck with more than 250 coordinated penetrations to meet stringent structural and environmental performance standards.

In addition, Consigli also earned regional project honors in the K-12 Education category. The firm received an Award of Merit for Hackley School’s Allen Center for the Creative Arts and Technology, as well as the category’s Best Project Award for Emma Willard School’s Alice Dodge Wallace ’38 Center for the Performing Arts.

Members of the project team, Naomi Doddington and Jack Trainor, collaborated with architect SmithGroup to co-author an article that highlighted Consigli’s meticulous historic preservation work and extensive adaptive reuse that transformed one of Washington, D.C.’s oldest synagogues into a new, from-the-ground-up museum.

“This was a challenge, not only in terms of restoration but also in relation to the addition of structural systems and the creation of the water-tight environment needed for incorporation with the Museum. Careful restoration efforts ensured the synagogue could achieve appropriate museum standards, making it possible to create exhibition space on the first floor of this historic structure, and an engaging audiovisual exhibition on the second floor.”
