8/31/2011

We are pleased to announce that Shanahan Field at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut is being recognized by the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA) as a winner in the Multi-field Category annual awards program. The project included the construction of two illuminated synthetic turf fields by FieldTurf designed to accommodate lacrosse, field hockey, soccer and football. Milone & MacBroom, Inc. was responsible for the planning, design, permitting and construction administration of both fields and the associated site work.  The design emphasized fitting the fields to existing site conditions, allowing spectator seating to located on terraces surrounding the fields enhancing the spectator experience. The site contractor was RAD from Rockland, Massachusetts.

“We have designed many collegiate and scholastic athletic projects,” said Vincent McDermott, Senior Vice President,  “but this project was special from the very beginning. We were fortunate to have had a client that had the vision and the resources to develop an outstanding athletic facility for its athletes that rivals NCAA fields and a very experienced contractor who paid great attention to details in implementing our plans.  We are proud to have been part of such a successful project.”

The award will be presented at the ASBA annual meeting in December.
