Bowdoin Wins ABC “Eagle” Award for South Shore Baptist Church

The Associated Builders and Contractors of Massachusetts has selected Bowdoin Construction as an Eagle Award winner for the major expansion and renovation of the South Shore Baptist Church in Hingham, MA. Winners were selected by an expert panel of judges to recognize the very best construction projects that ABC members have been a part of over the past year. The awards ceremony was held at the Boston Convention Center on November 15, 2012.

The project entailed the major expansion and historic renovation of a 1950’s classic New England landmark. Designed by Strekalovsky Architecture, the 26,030 s.f. two-level addition features a new 740-person sanctuary, multi-level choir space, a new entrance lobby with elevator, reception areas, staff offices, nursery space, ten classroom / meeting spaces, storage and restrooms. The project also included renovations to much of the existing 18,800 s.f. two-story church building including a new kitchen, restrooms, storage space, mechanical room upgrades, a new sprinkler system and fire alarm upgrades. Additional project requirements included a new Amphidrome sewer treatment system, expanded parking, new water, gas and electric service, and the relocation of a 1780’s historic home.
