At the same time, Consigli craftspeople used a 180-foot ultra-boom lift for the first time in the Northeast to access other areas of the fa\u00e7ade. Repairs included major restoration work to the brick and stone elements of the building,<\/p>\n<p>Even more remarkable, the work was completed over an intensive two shift, six day per week schedule over 11 weeks between the spring and fall semesters.<\/p>\n<p>Though the dormitory, built in 1964 and designed by architect Hugh Stubbins, remained an iconic symbol of the social change academic institutions went through at the time, several years of exposure to harsh winter elements caused the 16-story building to suffer from exposed steel, falling limestone, and major cracking in the exterior.<\/p>\n<p>At one time Maine\u2019s tallest building, the 16th floor of the tower hosted pioneering seminars, educational experiments and visiting professors who encouraged progressive collaboration like pacifist Norman Thomas. WBOR, the college\u2019s radio station known for recording Martin Luther King Jr.\u2019s famous speech on social accountability during his visit in 1964, also operates from the 16th floor. The tower reopened in August 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PORTLAND, ME\u00a0\u2013 In appreciation of the great efforts taken to preserve historic properties across the state, Maine Preservation recognized Consigli Construction Co., Inc., for its outstanding work to restore Coles Tower at Bowdoin College.\u00a0 The \u201c2015 Statewide Historic Preservation Honor Award for Restoration\u201d specifically acknowledged the company\u2019s craftsmanship and engineering<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8509,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Maine Preservation Presents Consigli With \u201c2015 Statewide Historic Preservation Honor Award For Restoration\u201d -
