Gillespie Electric, Inc. Receives ABC Merit Award of Excellence

Gillespie Electric, Inc., a national award winning, full service electrical contracting company, today announced it has been awarded the Merit Award in the Electrical Category for its work on the renovated office space at Radnor Corporate Center for VWR International, Inc., at the Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter Associated Builders & Contractors’ (ABC EPA) 21th Annual Merit Construction Awards of Excellence program on November 16. The awards program recognizes outstanding projects built by ABC contractors in Eastern Pennsylvania area.

“In a year when the construction market has again continued to have it struggles, it is a great honor to receive an award for our hard work and craftsmanship,” said Bill Gillespie, Owner and President of Gillespie Electric, Inc. “Each year the competition for the ABC Merit Awards of Excellence seems to get even tougher. We are proud that VWR was selected among the elite group of projects submitted.”

VWR International is one of the world’s leading global laboratory supply and distribution companies. VWR solidified space at Brandywine Realty Trust’s Corporate Center located in Radnor, PA right before their previous lease ran out. The cooperation between those involved was paramount in the fast paced completion of this 125,000 square foot renovation. The building’s unique design over five floors allows for open cubicle office space, private offices, meeting rooms, auditoriums, conference rooms, cafeteria areas and a private gym.

ABC EPA received 45 entries for this year’s awards program. The projects entered must have been completed between March 1, 2011 and September 1, 2011 and were judged by a team of 52 industry experts representing a cross-section of professionals, including architects, owners, developers and other construction industry leaders. Members of the judging teams visited each of the projects to evaluate the entries and determine the award winners.
