CHAPMAN CULTURAL CENTER & LINBECK CONSTRUCTION EARN TOP INDUSTRY HONORS

CHARLOTTE –February 2009 – The Chapman Cultural Center in Spartanburg, SC has earned the 2008 “Best Building Project ” Pinnacle Award from Carolinas Associated General Contractors (AGC). Spartanburg-based Linbeck Construction Corporation performed as General Contractor on the project.

At 87,000 square feet, the Chapman Cultural Center houses a dance center, art and pottery studios, science center, reptile room, 500-seat auditorium, art & history museums, gift shop, and offices. Linbeck regularly identified and presented savings opportunities, resulting in an ever-changing and evolving design, right up to the on-schedule completion. Linbeck also earned kudos from the community by its use of “lean construction” techniques.

The annual Carolinas AGC Pinnacle Awards are the most prestigious recognition in the Carolinas construction industry. Member firms can be honored for their performance as a company, or for a specific project.

As the largest AGC chapter in the nation with 2,800 member firms, Carolinas AGC’s mission is to build its members’ businesses through workforce development, business development and profit management. More than 75% of commercial and industrial construction (buildings, highways/bridges, utility facilities) in both North and South Carolina is performed or supported by Carolinas AGC members.
