We at MSD, Inc. are thrilled to share our accomplishments from the recent ABC Ohio Valley Chapter Excellence in Construction Awards. It was a night of recognition and celebration, highlighting our commitment to excellence and community.
Eagle Award for the Charles Young House Restoration
The restoration of the Charles Young House was not just a construction project; it was a journey into history. As Project Manager Johnathan Hess recounts, the challenges were substantial, from handling ancient plumbing systems to ensuring the integrity of historical structures. The Charles Young House, once home to a pioneering African American colonel and a station on the Underground Railroad, demanded more than just construction expertise; it required sensitivity to its profound historical significance.
The project began with intricate groundwork, including the installation of modern amenities like an elevator in a house built in the 1800s. The unpredictable weather and the challenges of working within the confines of a historic structure tested our team’s resilience and creativity. Innovative solutions, such as using old chimneys for plumbing vents to maintain the house’s original aesthetic, were devised to honor the past while building for the future.
This project not only restored a significant landmark but also paid homage to Colonel Charles Young’s legacy, making our Eagle Award at the ABC Ohio Valley Chapter Excellence in Construction Awards a particularly proud achievement for Team MSD.
Additional Recognitions: Merit and Safety Awards
Alongside our Eagle Award, we were honored with a Merit Award for our work on the MVCTC project, which showcased our capability to handle complex educational facilities with precision and dedication.
Safety is paramount at MSD, Inc., and receiving the Platinum Safety Award is a testament to our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest safety standards on every project. This recognition reaffirms that our safety protocols not only protect our team members but also ensure the efficiency and success of our operations.
Community Outreach Award: MSD, Inc.’s Give to Grow Program
Our commitment to community service was also recognized with the Community Outreach Award for our Give to Grow program. Spearheaded by Victoria Sherrock, our Community Outreach Coordinator, Give to Grow is our way of giving back to the community that supports us.
