Mistick Construction Awarded Community House Project
PITTSBURGH (Nov. 14, 2011) — East End Cooperative Ministry (EECM) selected Mistick Construction Co. as general contractor to build its new 64,000-square-foot Community House on Penn Circle in East Liberty. Perkins Eastman is the architect for the facility, scheduled to be completed in late fall of 2012.
EECM is an interfaith ministry dedicated to helping at-risk children and youth, the hungry, the homeless, and others in need throughout Pittsburgh's East End. The new building will bolster the organization's offerings by consolidating program sites, providing 24-hour support services for homeless residents, and offering employment opportunities and educational programming. In addition, the structure will serve as a new venue for community events and house a computer center. EECM says it will be able to serve 15 percent more children and provide double the current tutoring classes with the addition of its Community House.
"We are extremely pleased to be selected for this project," said Jeff Anderson, vice president of construction for Mistick. "It fits very well with our building experience, and it is a wonderful addition to the Pittsburgh community."
Mistick will pursue a LEED Platinum certification for the building, the highest LEED rating certified through the United States Green Building Council.
A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 18 at 11 a.m.
