Mosser Construction Inc. announced that it was one of the winners of the prestigious AGC of Ohio 2017 Build Ohio Awards. Mosser was honored in the Renovation category for the University Hall renovation project at Bowling Green State University.

Mosser received its bronze and marble Build Ohio award during the 26th annual Build Ohio celebration on Nov. 3, in Columbus, Ohio, at the Hilton Columbus at Easton.

The Associated General Contractors of Ohio hosts Build Ohio annually to celebrate the commercial construction industry and recognize contractors for excellence in construction. Build Ohio winners are selected by a panel of retired construction professionals on the following criteria: excellence in customer service, meeting the challenge of a difficult job, excellence in project management, and innovations in construction techniques and materials.

University Hall was the first building to open on Bowling Green State University's campus in 1915. Housing the President's office, all administrative functions, classrooms, a theater over a gymnasium and more, the iconic building endured extensive use as well as eight substantial renovation projects over the next century.

Mosser Construction was selected to improve on University Hall's original splendor and transform it into a key recruiting tool for today's admissions efforts.

Surprises greeted Mosser behind and within every wall. Archways and doorways were created, requiring methodical demolition to preserve the original 100-year old bricks, which Mosser re-used to infill existing openings that were no longer needed. The original two-story theater and gymnasium was demolished and the area now features four floors and houses the largest single-elevation classroom on campus. The grand marble stairway in the main entryway was refurbished and the space transformed into a more open, welcoming area which features old-world plastering and finishing techniques to enhance the existing iconic essence of the building.

“It is always an honor to receive an award, especially one that is voted on by your peers. I want to thank BGSU, all of our employees and the contractors who worked with us on this project that made it such a success,” said Charles Moyer, president and CEO of Mosser Construction Inc.

Building with integrity since 1948, Mosser Construction Inc. is one of Ohio's premier construction companies, specializing in commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, water treatment plants and highway and bridge construction, according to the company.
