Serving as a model for resilience and sustainability by demonstrating accessible methods to homeowners, developers and small business owners for living and building more sustainably, the structure is designed to “float” during major flooding to ensure operational continuity and demonstrate resiliency.

The Ryan Resilience Lab won the ENR MidAtlantic Excellence in Sustainability award. 

The manufacturing facility plan calls for 13 buildings totaling 1.7 million sq ft on a 340-acre site in Chesterfield County, Va., outside Richmond.

Located within a former big-box department store, the natatorium features an eight-lane 50-meter-long competition pool, and a pair of three-lane 25-yd-long warm-up pools to support a variety of student swimming programs.

The project involved building a 1-million-sq-ft-plus outpatient hospital on Virginia Commonwealth University’s health campus in Richmond.

Few contractors were better positioned to weather the disruptions and uncertainties of 2020 than Richmond, Va.-based Hourigan.

Hourigan Construction Corp. is ENR MidAtlantic's 2021 Contractor of the Year.
