Middletown, CT – The Connecticut Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) recognized C.E. Floyd Company, Inc. at the 2017 Excellence in Construction Awards dinner on Oct. 26 for exceptional work on the Ethel Walker School’s Centennial Center.
C.E. Floyd Company worked with OMR Architects to deliver the 62,000sf center that provides students with the arts, athletics, and wellness services needed to empower the students to lead with integrity, confidence, courage, and conviction.
Jeff Palmer, C.E. Floyd project executive, commented: “It was very rewarding seeing everyone who worked so hard, not only from C.E. Floyd Company, but from the Ethel Walker School and OMR, enjoy the award together. The project was a success based on the group effort of all involved.”

Marcelo Arjona commented, “The design and construction of the Ethel Walker School Centennial Center is much more than just the completion of a new athletic building, it is a demonstration of the power of a committed interdisciplinary team to serve a client and bring about the aspirations and expectations not only of a school but of every single one of the girls that live, learn and play in it on a daily basis.”
John Monagan, athletic director at Ethel Walker School, told C.E. Floyd “All we wanted from this project was a team that could construct the building we dreamt about. C.E. Floyd exceeded our hopes in every way.”
This project owes its success to everyone involved, from the project team to the vendors and suppliers, for their determination and creative problem solving to keep this project on schedule and turn a dream building into a reality.
The Excellence in Construction Award recognizes overall excellence in project execution, craftsmanship, safety, innovative elements and challenges, and client satisfaction.
