Company
wins a 2008 WBC Craftsmanship Award for Easter Seals Intergenerational Center
and Regional Headquarters

Rockville, MD - March 19, 2008 -
Forrester Construction
Company wins a 2008 Washington Building Congress (WBC) Craftsmanship Award for
Easter Seals
Intergenerational
Center
and Regional Headquarters.
Warner Drywall of Gaithersburg, Maryland
won in the Woods and Plastics/Rough Carpentry Category for the Forrester
project-
Easter Seals
Intergenerational
Center
and Regional Headquarters.
As part of the redevelopment of
Silver Spring, MD, the
Easter
Seals
Intergenerational
Center
is the new Regional Headquarters and state-of-the-art facility for Easter Seals.
This 70,000 SF project includes two levels of
below-grade parking, three levels of office and administrative space, and
extensive site work.
Warner Drywall services was the single
source subcontractor for pre-engineered light gauge truss (supplied from Adtek
Engineering) and the field constructed infill framing required to give the
commercial structure the look of a residential building.
The architect’s intent for the design was not to
have the standard commercial square box with metal and glass, but to give the
building the feel of a large home.
Warner displayed outstanding workmanship and
attention to detail, which included the construction of the 4:12 pitched roofs,
dormers, and the signature of the building- lines to one specific plane-
wrapping and leveling around the building façade.
This project was recognized at the WBC
Craftsmanship Awards Banquet on March 14, 2008.
The Washington Building Congress Awards Program is
the only program recognizing the skill and achievement of individual craftsmen
in our local construction community.
