CHARLOTTE — Edifice Inc., the architect of St. Joseph College Seminary in Mount Holly, has been honored as the 2020 General Contractor Project of the Year by the Associated Builders and Contractors of the Carolinas.
Built for the Diocese of Charlotte, the college seminary building contains 28,657 square feet of striking Christian pointed (also called Gothic_ architecture. Some of the most intricate design elements, requiring exceptional craftsmanship, were completed by local artisans as well as ABCC members. Masonry and drywall were designed and constructed to mimic a 100-year-old church in Rome.
“Edifice is honored and humbled to receive the ‘GC Project of the Year’ award,” Edifice’s Senior Vice President Bryan Knupp said in a release. “We feel blessed to have been given the opportunity by Father Matthew Kauth and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte to be part of such a beautiful project.
We know this award happened only by the dedication and commitment of all of our partners.”
The Charlotte-area Excellence in Construction Awards program is the industry’s leading competition that serves to raise the level of construction standards by recognizing the innovation and high-quality work of ABCC members. These awards honor all construction team members, including the contractor, owner, architect and engineer.
