In New York, Consigli received the Best Project Award in the K-12 Education category, as well as Awards of Merit in both the K-12 Education and the Restoration/Renovation categories. In New England, Consigli received the Best Project Award in the Higher Education/Research category and an Award of Merit in the Energy/Industrial category.

Read more about each of the five award-winning projects below:

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.

Delivered by Consigli Construction Co., Inc. and its energy division, Arch Energy, the 1.4-million-gallon TES tank is an innovative campus solution that is roughly equivalent to a 15,000-kWh battery, delivers long-term energy efficiency for UNH. Reflecting a $10.3 million investment by the University, the new TES tank was designed to produce chilled water during off-peak hours to significantly lower campus energy costs and reduce environmental impact. The tank, and its interconnection to the existing plant, allows for a minimum of 10,400 ton-hours of stored chilled water to be released as thermal energy during peak hours.

Using a design-build approach with DN Tanks, Consigli and its design partners ensured successful preconstruction and construction phases by maximizing client and project team collaboration and bolstering efficiency throughout the life of the project. The project team overcame significant challenges, including confined space and high-angle work hazards inside the 47-foot-tall, 80-foot-diameter tank. Enhanced fall protection protocols were implemented, and the team partnered with the local fire department for a high-angle rescue training exercise. When traditional gear proved unsuitable, the team donated construction-grade fall protection and rigging equipment, strengthening community safety and partnerships.

The TES Tank serves as a model for higher education institutions pursuing ambitious decarbonization planning and is a key feature of UNH’s own climate action plan, WildCAP, which aims to cut the university’s greenhouse gas emissions by 80% in 2050 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2100.

In addition to this award, Consigli also received the top project award for New England in the Higher Education/Research category for The Ragon Institute of Massachusetts General Brigham, MIT and Harvard, as well as several other New York regional awards.

Freymann discussed the sustained growth Consigli continues to see in the academic market sector, with ongoing projects on the campuses of Dartmouth College, the University of New Hampshire and Phillips Exeter Academy, which Freymann anticipates will “have quite a bit more construction planned in the near future.”

He also highlighted the continued, and growing, demand for the incorporation of sustainable building materials and approaches in projects across market sectors. Consigli has a demonstrated expertise in the use of mass timber, and Freymann noted that the firm expects to “see more of [it] next year and beyond.”

Freymann also offered insight into the expected market trends and upcoming opportunities in New Hampshire, including the increased interest regionally in the potential of office to residential conversion projects to mitigate the area’s housing shortage. According to Freymann, the healthcare and advanced technology markets also “have good opportunity and good future potential in this area.”
