Construction Management Organization Recognizes Brasfield & Gorrie

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Brasfield & Gorrie has been recognized by the Construction Management Association of America South Atlantic Chapter. During an awards banquet in Atlanta, Georgia, the contractor earned a Project Achievement award in recognition of excellence in the construction of a new $20.3-million. 23,800-square-foot state-of-the art commercial data center for C Spire, a Mississippi-based telecommunications and technology services company.

Despite nearly a month of weather delays, Brasfield & Gorrie completed construction of this Tier III+ data center—one of only 52 worldwide—in Starkville, Mississippi, five weeks early with the help of a stage-and-gate project delivery framework.

In addition to the award from CMAA South Atlanta Chapter, this Design-Build project also earned two national Excellence in Construction awards from the Associated Builders and Contractors, including a first-place Eagle award and a Productivity award. Additionally, the project earned accolades from the Alabama and Mississippi chapters of ABC.

Serving as Design-Builder, Brasfield & Gorrie partnered with architects Dale & Associates and Pieper O’Brien Herr Architects, as well as engineer Syska Hennessy Group on this project for C Spire.
