Boyle Construction Management
of South Whitehall Township earned a 2014 Project of the Year award for the
Crayola Experience in Easton from the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Construction
Management Association of America.
The Crayola Experience is a hands-on, interactive
children’s activity center, which is a separate division of Crayola
LLC, headquartered in Forks Township.
The award is given to private
sector projects less than $20 million.
It marks the third time Boyle
received an award from the Mid-Atlantic Chapter. Sean Boyle, president of Boyle
Construction, said the company received an award a few years ago for
building the Bethlehem parking deck at North Street.
Boyle said the award
validates the complexity of the project, which involved rehabilitating five
connected historic buildings in Downtown Easton to re-create and expand the
Crayola Experience into a 60,000-square-foot site.
“It wasn’t your
run-of-the-mill greenfield project,” Boyle said. “A lot of consultants worked
on the project; there was a lot of coordination that we had to do on our end.”
Boyle completed the project
in about 15 weeks; the company had to schedule all contractors to ensure it was
completed on time. A lot of structural modifications had to be finished, he
added. Other highlights include customized flooring, fixtures and crayon
columns.
The project, which included
more than 20 attractions, opened in May 2013 and included building a Crayola
Experience café where a McDonald’s once sat. Also, Boyle completed construction
work to the exterior. W2A Design Group of Allentown was the architect.
The awards ceremony is June
24 in Philadelphia.
