PC Construction has once again captured industry acclaim, securing the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) New England Chapter's Mark H. Hasso Project of the Year Award for its transformative work on the Shawn Walsh Hockey Center and Harold Alfond Arena at the University of Maine. This recognition marks the third major accolade for the project, underscoring its impact on collegiate hockey infrastructure in the Northeast.

**What Happened**  
PC Construction's comprehensive renovation and expansion of the [Harold Alfond Arena](https://www.industrialbriefs.com/hudson-tunnel-project-contract-awarded/), Maine's sole NCAA Division I hockey venue, has earned the company three prestigious awards. The project received the MEREDA Notable Project Award and the AGC Build Maine Awards prior to the CMAA recognition. The awards collectively celebrate the project's commitment to responsible real estate growth, safety, innovation, environmental sensitivity, and client satisfaction.

The extensive overhaul involved 31,000 square feet of renovations and an additional 21,000 square feet of new construction. The project enhanced the arena's iconic profile while incorporating modern amenities. Key features include a new entryway and concourse, a UMaine Hockey Hall of Champions, and state-of-the-art facilities for athletes, including gender-equitable locker rooms and a player development center.

**What This Means for Your Business**  
For businesses in the architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing (AECM) sectors, PC Construction's award-winning project highlights the growing importance of innovation and sustainability in large-scale renovations. The recognition from industry bodies like CMAA, AGC, and MEREDA underscores the value of integrating cutting-edge design and engineering solutions into projects that maintain historical integrity while meeting contemporary demands.

The project's success demonstrates the potential for securing federal and state funding for similar initiatives aimed at enhancing collegiate and community sports facilities. As public and private sectors increasingly prioritize projects that offer community benefits and economic growth, AECM professionals can position themselves competitively by emphasizing sustainable practices and collaborative approaches in their proposals.
