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.

“We have a fantastic team here in Hartford, which makes Consigli a wonderful place to come to and work each day,” said Dan McConaghy, Consigli’s District Manager for Southern New England. “Our peoples’ commitment to building outstanding projects and supporting their local community is something to be admired. This award belongs to all of them.”

Consigli was ranked in the large-firm category. The Best Places to Work awards recognize the most admired workplaces in Connecticut. Developed more than ten years ago by the Hartford Business Journal and the Best Companies Group, a third-party research firm that manages similar programs all over the country, the recognition required companies to go through a workplace assessment process, including employee surveys and a full inventory of company benefits, policies, and offerings. The comprehensive review allowed for an in-depth analysis of each company’s strengths and weaknesses and ultimately determined the companies most deserving to make the list.

Consigli has also been named a “Top Place to Work” in Massachusetts by The Boston Globe for the last ten years. Its Portland, Maine office has been recognized by Mainebiz as a “Best Place to Work” for the last 12 years.

“This restoration represents a new landmark in Freeport and reflects the culture of craftsmanship that is inseparable from L.L. Bean, Consigli and the surrounding community,” said Matthew Tonello, Area Manager for Consigli Portland.

Only a short distance from the L.L. Bean company’s flagship store, the careful restoration of the Queen Ann Victorian style house, built in the late 1880’s provides a historically accurate glimpse into the Leon Bean family home, which now serves as a museum and archive center housing Bean’s original documents, photographs and possessions.
