Nashville, Tennessee, March 1, 2012 — SSOE Group (www.ssoe.com), an international architecture, engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) firm, announced today that the Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center located in Tallahassee, Florida has received a National Excellence in Construction Award from Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). The ABC awards seek to recognize the nation’s most innovative and high quality construction projects and safety programs.
The winning project, developed by real estate investor, Health Care REIT, was delivered to the client ahead of schedule and below budget — resulting in a 52,000 SF building which was awarded LEED® Silver certification in April 2011. Sustainable features included the use of 92% recycled structural steel, a patient healing garden, separate public and staff places of respite, and strategies focused on recycling, water use reduction, thermal comfort, indoor and outdoor pollution control, and environmentally friendly low mercury lamp lighting.
