Chamberlin was honored to be a part of the Associated General Contractors (AGC) Outstanding Construction Awards Banquet in Austin, Texas. Annually, projects are judged on the difficulty in construction resulting from design, location, materials and unusual construction techniques. Final appearance and quality of the finished product and timeliness of completion are also contributing factors in the winning projects. Many great projects were submitted this year and the competition was tough, but Chamberlin walked away with awards for three different buildings we collaborated on. These projects include Texas State University Round Rock Willow Hall, Skyloft EIFS and University of Texas (UT) Engineering Education Research Center (EERC).
Texas State University Round Rock Willow Hall houses three departments from the College of Health Professions, offering state-of-the-art facilities for students and researchers and affordable healthcare services for the community. Chamberlin performed both roofing and waterproofing work in collaboration with General Contractor, The Beck Group. The waterproofing included installation of drainage composite, sheet waterproofing, thermal insulation, weather barrier, flashing and sheet metal, firestopping and joint sealants. The roofing portion of the job included installation of wood blocking, hot-modified roofing, cap wall and curb flashings.
Chamberlin’s efforts on the joint sealants at the Skyloft EIFS project led to receiving an Outstanding Construction Award at the AGC banquet. Skyloft EIFS is a brand-new high-rise student housing development for students who want to live near University of Texas in the heart of West Campus in Austin, Texas. Chamberlin collaborated with General Contractor, KHS&S to complete the project in one year.
Chamberlin worked with General Contractor Hensel Phelps on the University of Texas (UT) Engineering Education Research Center for three years. Chamberlin’s scope included wood blocking, cap installation, cap wall and curb flashings, hot-modified roofing and flashing and sheet metal. The EERC at The University of Texas at Austin will provide critical support and opportunities for UT’s future medical school and engineering education. The EERC’s 100,000 square feet of state-of-the-art teaching and laboratory space will support new interdisciplinary research initiatives and major centers of excellence, in addition to providing new teaching space that will transform engineering education through research collaborations.
