Tarlton Wins Award for VISION 2000 Project
The Tarlton Corporation, the construction management company responsible for the construction of St. Louis U. High’s Drury Plaza and new soccer stadium, received the prestigious Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) Keystone Award for their work on the SLUH athletic complex last Thursday.
There are a total of nine Keystone Awards, which are categorized by the expense and type of project, presented in the St. Louis area per year. Tarlton’s award fell under the $5-$20 million category.
Andy Kovarik, the project manager from Tarlton, said "(The Keystone Award) is kind of the Associated General Contractor’s most prestigious award that they give out. …It’s quite an honor to receive it."
SLUH beat out two other finalists for Tarlton’s contractor award. The new Busch Stadium was another winner of the award under the Specialty Contractor category for $20 million and more.
SLUH received a plaque, which is currently on display in the main office, for Tarlton’s success.
The announcement and ceremony for the winners was held last Thursday at the Millenium Hotel.
Director of Facilities Patrick Zarrick mentioned that part of the reason for Tarlton’s success was actually in the obstacles they faced. "The adversity we faced with the remediation of the old house foundations and the sinkholes in the location of the soccer stadium was a major issue between Tarlton and SLUH, because it was important that we finished the project before the winter so that we could still hold athletic events at home."
This is the second award that SLUH has received for its athletic complexes in the VISION 2000 project. The school also received the Spirit of St. Louis award last September. Zarrick has also been informed that SLUH has won an award for the track. There will be an announcement about the track award in December.
