Greensboro, NC – The Christman Company is proud to announce that two recently completed projects in the company’s Greenboro, North Carolina region were winners of the Construction Professionals Network (CPN) Star Award at the CPN annual awards ceremony held in Wild Dunes, SC.

Union Square Campus, Between $10-25 Million Category – Union Square Campus (USC) is a state-of-the-art facility that supports nursing education and training. A partnership between Cone Health, Guilford Technical Community College, North Carolina A&T State University, and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the 84,400 s.f., LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, a designation by the U.S. Green Building Council) Silver certified joint learning facility allows teachers to record students working with state-of-the-art mannequins to enhance learning, interaction and patient diagnosis. Each simulation room contains a mannequin with control rooms that record the student and teacher actions and interactions with the mannequins. “The Union Square Campus project is a vital tool that will support the Greensboro economy in an area that has not seen this kind of investment in many years,” said John Merrill, owner’s representative for the University of South Carolina. “Selecting the right construction services partner was critical. Thanks to Christman and the project team, the building was completed on time, under budget and exceeded our goals.”

University of North Carolina at Greensboro Leonard J.

Both of the awarded projects are located on GateCity Boulevard and have been key in supporting the community’s initiatives to redevelop the area. As Greensboro experiences continued growth, Christman is participating in the current transformation of a variety of spaces, including the rehabilitation of the historic Cascade Saloon, a building located in Greensboro’s S. Elm Street Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places that was previously labeled as an unsalvageable structure. Christman is teaming with Preservation Greensboro Development Fund, a nonprofit organization that leverages a team of volunteer professionals and a revolving capital fund to acquire ownership interests in real property and craft preservation-friendly solutions for Greensboro’s most pressing dilemmas involving historic structures. The team is working to restore the building’s original character while creating a modern office space for Christman's regional offices.
