Commercial builder Wohlsen Construction Company received
an award from the Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter of Associated Builders and
Contractors (ABC) at the association’s recent Annual Awards of Excellence
banquet for its renovation of a commonwealth synagogue.
Wohlsen undertook the project with Adath Israel Synagogue
located in Merion Station for the renovation of its Mandell Sanctuary. The
remodeling included targeted demolition and renovation both for the two-tiered
synagogue sanctuary and Frankel Hall in order to provide centralized entry,
improved circulation and additional space for a more flexible sanctuary to
accommodate modern-day worship styles.
The Award of Merit was presented to Wohlsen in the
Restoration/Renovation category. Led by Becker Frondorf and designed by Atkin
Olshin Schade Architects of Philadelphia, the 69,000-square-foot project took
one month to complete and included a tabas ceiling, installation of a new ark,
extensive millwork, carpet and custom glass tile wall installation, acoustic
panels and light fixtures, as well as exterior renovations.
Headquartered at 548 Steel Way in Lancaster, and with
additional Pennsylvania offices in Media and Harrisburg, Wohlsen Construction
Company is a top merit shop construction firm in the mid-Atlantic states,
serving Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey. A Green Plus Certified
company founded in 1890, Wohlsen is currently celebrating its 125th
anniversary.
