AUSTIN, TX —
American Constructors, a Cedar-Park based construction management and general contracting firm, was recently recognized by the
Central Texas Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors with three 2021 Excellence in Construction awards. Representatives from American Constructors joined other winning companies at an awards banquet in Austin.
The firm’s work on the Lakeway Church Expansion and Temple High School Swim Center both earned one of only 17 Eagle Awards, the highest honor given at the chapter level. Their work on Stacy Kaye Danielson Middle School also earned one of 11 Merit Awards given to Central Texas Contractors.
In addition to the project-based awards, American Constructors earned both national and local recognition for its consistent focus on safety, achieving the Diamond level in National Safety Training Evaluation Process. The firm was also awarded the 2021 Safety Award of Excellence from the Central Texas Chapter.
Lakeway Church
The Lakeway Church’s 25,000-square-foot campus expansion included construction of new worship and fellowship areas to help serve the growing Lake Travis community. It also included a grand covered walkway to tie together the existing campus with the new additions. The new sanctuary showcases a cross-hatched ceiling comprised of glulam beams — a feature that required extensive coordination and planning.
Temple High School Swim Center
Renovation of Temple High School’s early 1970s swim center facility required a complete rebuild of the building’s steel structure frame. The competition space also included an expansion to include public restrooms, class and weight room space, and a concessions area. The team helped the mechanical engineer design an air movement system to prevent corrosion of the facility for decades to come.
Stacy Kaye Danielson Middle School
Leander ISD’s two-story Stacy Danielson Middle School is a 211,000-square-foot facility that can accommodate up to 1,400 students. The campus features outdoor learning spaces and an open classroom concept for collaborative learning environments. Working against challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the team worked around the clock and delivered the facility to the district in time for the start of the 2020-21 school year.
