Nason Wins Multiple Industry Awards

Firm Honored as Construction and Safety Leader

Wilmington, DE, December 4, 2009: Nason Construction is the recipient of a number of excellence awards for its work at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center at Christiana Hospital and the South Coastal Library in Bethany Beach.

The Helen F. Graham Cancer Center has been presented three awards:
• Mid-Atlantic Construction’s Best of 2009 Healthcare Project
• Delaware Contractors Association (DCA) Construction Excellence
• Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Delaware Chapter Excellence in Construction

The Cancer Center project, completed in May of 2009, is a four-story expansion to the Christiana Hospital’s original cancer care center and brings the total area for cancer care to over 180,000 s.f. The $30 million expansion houses areas for diagnosis and treatment, physician offices, oncology rehabilitation, a pharmacy, and the Center for Translational Cancer Research. Also featured at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center are a green/vegetative roof, a reflecting pool, and a meditation room.

Nason was also honored by the ABC Delaware Chapter with an Honorable Mention Award for its work on the South Coastal Library Expansion. Completed in April 2009, the project doubled the size of the library to 20,000 s.f. New elements of the library include a children’s library, a teen area, a community room, and a meditation garden at the rear of the building.

In addition to being awarded construction excellence awards, Nason was presented with safety awards from the DCA and ABC for outstanding safety and loss prevention programs.

“We are proud to be presented with these prestigious regional awards,” said Chief Executive Officer Thomas W. Nason, II. “Nason strives for excellence in all that we do, and these awards are a testament to our employees and their efforts.”
