Groundbreaking: New Pender County K-8 School! Yesterday, we celebrated the start of construction for Pender County Schools' newest project! This job is a design-build with Moseley Architects and WithersRavenel which means that site construction was allowed to begin while the building design was still being finalized. Here is a quick look at the key project details: 🔸 ~290,000 SF 🔸 78 classrooms 🔸 2,312 student capacity 🔹 750 elementary school students (ES) 🔹 1,562 middle-school students (MS) 🔸 Fall '27 scheduled opening The scope includes space for administration, a kitchen, and separate ES/MS dining rooms & gymnasiums. The MS wing has classrooms for music, dance/drama, art, health, and a STEM lab! Additionally, the site will provide parking, bus parking, onsite queuing, an ES/MS courtyard, multipurpose field, baseball/softball field, and playground.

Thank you to New England Lab for hosting Bordeaux Construction and Hanbury for a Lunch & Learn yesterday! Our three companies have worked together on many laboratory projects, and enjoyed getting an inside-scoop on their side of the industry. While we ate, we heard from Marc Pizzo about how their company is addressing the needs of the Triangle Area's growing population. We heard about NEL's innovative designs, and even got to tour the showroom and warehouse! Thank you, New England Lab for hosting. We look forward to continuing our partnership! 🔹 Bordeaux Construction 🔹 New England Lab 🔹 Hanbury

Grand Opening: Tar Heel PK-8 School! Last week, we were honored to attend the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting celebration at Bladen County’s newest and most innovative school: Tar Heel PK-8. The close-knit ties of the Tar Heel community were felt throughout, with over 100 people gathering to celebrate on Friday morning. Tar Heel PK-8 School is the first of its kind – in the world – to feature a two-way solar powering system. The new school is equipped with over 1,600 solar panels and five electric buses, which were awarded to Bladen. The buses are charged by the solar panels on the school! After dropping off the students at the beginning of a school day, the electric buses will plug into the school’s charging stations. The leftover power from the buses will help the school building during peak morning power demands. Throughout the day, the solar panels will charge the buses, so that they are ready to bring students home at dismissal. Our team’s Project Manager, Alex Herndon, and Field Superintendent, Ben Brisson, have been instrumental in providing guidance, forethought, and coordination throughout the process. Their leadership has ensured that the project was delivered with the highest standard of quality. Bordeaux Construction is proud to have helped make this dream a reality, and we look forward to standing alongside the Tar Heel community as we watch how their new school impacts generations to come. Congratulations, all!

The Fort Fisher Historic Site project is coming along, and we can't wait to see the new Visitor Center when it's complete!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at our A4LE Southeast Conference next week!

We are eagerly awaiting the A4LE Conference next week! The Association for Learning Environments (A4LE) will host the annual Southeastern Regional Conference beginning on Monday, April 22. Construction and design professionals from Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina will gather in Greensboro to focus on how to create impactful educational spaces in our region. Rachel Sayre, who has been with Bordeaux Construction for over 10 years, is the A4LE NC Chapter President. She is thrilled to gather with others who seek to design and construct innovative learning spaces. She shared, “We are looking forward to the A4LE Southeast Conference in Greensboro. It will be a chance to reconnect with old friends, as well as to make new connections – all while learning what’s next in School Design – and how it will make a lasting impact on schools and communities.” See you there! 

Safety at the Site: Pender County ABC Today, we hosted a Bordeaux Safety Orientation at the Pender County ABC jobsite in Burgaw, NC. Led by Scotty Edwards, our Safety Director, and Bobby Strickland, Field Superintendent, new workers learned about required personal protective equipment (PPE), Fall Protection policies, and how to effectively utilize the site’s iPad to complete daily Safety Forms. To our Safety Director, Scotty Edwards, “safety” is more than just a priority at the jobsites. Scotty’s mission is to ensure that everyone who steps foot on one of our projects will go home at the end the day, able to make memories with their families and loved ones. And if anyone, at any of our sites, ever needs a refresher, the “Safety Scotty” sign will always be there to greet them at the entrance.
