Leopardo Wins Best Project of 2012 Award
(firmenpresse) - HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 09/20/12 -- The Hanover Park Police Headquarters, built by Leopardo, was recently awarded in the Government/Public Building category. Engineering News-Record (ENR) is the construction industry's leading source of news and information.
According to the magazine's announcement, a panel of industry peers "selected winning projects on the basis of design and construction quality, innovation, safety and the ability of their project teams to overcome unique challenges. All winning projects will compete against winners from eight other regions in ENR's National Best of the Best Projects 2012 competition."
Leopardo completed the 63,000-square-foot police headquarters for the Village of Hanover Park early in 2012. The facility includes an indoor firing range, jail, evidence processing, emergency operations center and training room, community room and an enclosed garage for up to 27 vehicles. Dewberry, the architect for the project, described the building's exterior as "a palette of brick, precast concrete, metal panels and glass."
A distinguishing characteristic of this project is its unique safety record. Leopardo took the initiative to partner with OSHA, allowing open-access to the government agency in order to achieve the absolute highest levels of construction safety. More than 400 site-specific safety orientations were conducted, 149 safety inspections and 10,000 safety observations performed. As a result, after more than 100,000 total work hours, the project's incident rate was almost 30 percent below the national average.
Leopardo, one of the most experienced law enforcement and public safety construction firms in the Midwest, served as construction manager. In addition to the Hanover Park Police Headquarters, Leopardo recently built the award-winning Aurora Police Headquarters (195,000 square feet), Clarendon Hills Police Headquarters (14,400 square feet), Beaufort Police, Courts and City Hall Complex (63,000 square feet), Romeoville Fire Station No. 3 (13,500 square feet), and the Mount Prospect Fire Station No. 14 (24,000 square feet).
