ABC Keystone recognizes the outstanding work performed on projects by local member contractor firms during the annual ABC Excellence in Construction Awards Celebration. One of the main program goals is to create a greater awareness of the quality workmanship produced by free enterprise contractors within the community. Winners of the chapter competition are then eligible to compete at the national level for recognition and prestige among all ABC members. This program not only provides ABC members with a venue to share and promote their work, but it also allows construction buyers to view the tremendous capabilities of ABC member firms.
Any contractor member of ABC Keystone in good standing may enter.
ABC Keystone’s panel of volunteer judges represents a cross-section of the industry, including local design professionals and engineers. Projects are judged on execution of design, craftsmanship, safety, attention to detail, proper installation, evidence of extraordinary effort, owner satisfaction and other considerations. Judges evaluate the projects based on submission and site visits, if necessary. An accounting firm tabulates the completed scores.
The Excellence Award, the top honor, is given to the highest scoring project in each category, provided it earned at least 90 points. The Merit Award, second place, is given to projects that scored 80 or above in each category. All other entrants earn a Certificate of Commendation.
Separate judging for Project of the Year Award is based on: (1) client satisfaction, (2) community impact, (3) design features, and (4) positive notoriety or high-profile nature of the project.

Visual Arts Center, Lancaster
Poole Anderson Construction, LLC was the Construction Manager for the nearly 33,000 SF Franklin & Marshall Winter Visual Arts Center project. The site’s remarkable surrounding trees provided a central idea for the composition of the building, which architect Steven Holl calls a “pavilion on the park.”
The unique design, which included a suspended structure with cantilevered trusses, channel and structural glass systems, and a recycled glass aggregate envelope on an arboretum setting yielded many challenges but resulted in a one-of-a-kind arts building on an historic campus.
