Gilmour Academy

Description:
Panzica Construction Company has completed several projects of various sizes at Gilmour Academy. Some of the larger projects include a new middle school building, a classroom building, a residence hall addition, a new hockey arena complex, and a science building renovation. Currently Panzica is managing a major addition to the Lower School.

Middle School - A 36,000 s.f. 2-story brick facility housing 7th and 8th grade students and incorporating the fine arts department for the entire campus. As construction manager, Panzica Construction Company was challenged to coordinate this complex and extensive site utility relocation preceding the start of construction. Gilmour Academy operates and manages its own gas wells and piping distribution system on campus, the majority of which had to be reconfigured.

Classroom Building - Unique project consisting of two distinct additions surrounding a totally renovated 50 year old building. One of the additions was constructed over an existing basement that housed the entire campus heating system necessitating a high degree of temporary protection while working above. The renovated portion was totally gutted, its flat roof literally removed and a new wood truss system was constructed. A distinctive clock tower anchors one end of the project.

Residence Hall Addition - Two-story, 10,000 s.f. addition to and renovation of existing dormitory including a large great room featuring a vaulted, stained oak wood ceiling and built-in bookshelves.

New Hockey Rink - Construction of new hockey rink complete with locker rooms, meeting rooms, concession area, skate rental, bleachers and toilet/shower facility. Rink work was inclusive of equipment and all accessories for a complete operation.

Science and Computer Building - Extensive renovations of existing building along with unique structure built to enclose an open-air courtyard.

New Lower School Addition - A 14,000 square foot addition including classrooms, music rooms, art gallery space, and administrative space...project also includes renovation of existing spaces within occupied areas.
