Metro Walls was part of a historic event on November 15th, 2024! The company sponsored and attended the Bring Back the Trades Career Fair Tradeapalooza  at NHTI in Concord, NH. This unique event featured a panel discussion, including our very own Kasey Tardif, as well as a career fair for young adults to meet with various trade professionals. Guests also go to sit in on an interview with New Hampshire Governor-Elect Kelly Ayotte and Mike Rowe, host of Dirty Jobs !  Metro Walls was a Trade Champion sponsor for the event and created a one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional booth that allowed students and young adults to experience the work we do on a daily basis. Our structure featured two drywall cutouts to demonstrate blocking and framing, along with soffits on the top framing pieces. We also had our acoustical team install two acoustic wall panels, showcasing the intricacy of their craft. These elements came together to create an immersive experience in the construction trades.  At the NHTI Wellness Center, Kasey Tardif, our Acoustical Division Assistant Project Manager, participated in the panel, where Amanda Grappone Osmer interviewed various trade professionals to learn more about their career journeys and the importance of the trades.  “Working for a company that will support you in your career and be the backbone you may need is very important,” Kasey noted. She also emphasized how the trades are an excellent career path for anyone, regardless of age or gender—if you have passion, it will take you far.  The Bring Back the Trades event attracted over 4,000 attendees, featured 85 different company booths, and recognized 43 scholarship recipients. Our team contributed to a fantastic day, engaging with attendees about their future in the trades. We are thrilled that we had the opportunity to enhance the future generation!    To learn more about Bring Back the Trades , visit their website: https://bringbackthetrades.org/ .

Metro Walls, a leading drywall, framing, and acoustical contractor in the Northeast, was recently recognized at both the Associated Builders and Contractors New Hampshire/Vermont Chapter’s (ABC NH/VT) Excellence in Construction Awards and the Associated Builders and Contractors Massachusetts (ABC MA) Excellence in Construction Awards. The award receptions were held on October 24th, 2024, at the DoubleTree in Manchester, NH, and November 7th, 2024, at the Four Points Sheraton in Norwood, MA.   Metro Walls received an Excellence in Construction Award at the New Hampshire Ceremony for multiple projects including 60 Penhallow at Brick Market in Portsmouth, NH, and The Armature in Portland, ME. The 60 Penhallow project, a 97,000 square-foot mixed- building, provides residents both office and retail space for the community. This complex project features an exceptional exterior facade with compound radius walls and a range of finishes ,  including wood, metal, and granite. The use of mass timber and cross-laminated timber (CLT) further enhances this impressive design. Once a parking lot, this site was transformed into a stunning four-story structure inspired by Portsmouth’s rich maritime history, incorporating artistic timber and copper elements throughout. A second Excellence in Construction award was received by Metro Walls for their work on the Armature in Portland, ME. Previously a surface parking lot and public works garage, this land was underused in the heart of Portland, a rapidly developing neighborhood near the water, featuring restaurants, bars, and retail shops. As more people relocated to this sought-after community, a 240,000-square-foot eight-story apartment complex and retail space was built in order to support the growing neighborhood. The building is equipped with numerous amenities for residents, including a pool, courtyard, private parking, indoor and outdoor fitness spaces, a gaming room, a pet washing station, and 6,500 square feet of retail space.   "We are honored to be a part of a project that has become such a distinct landmark and destination within Portsmouth," said Steve Gagnon, Senior VP and Project Manager of 60 Penhallow at Brick Market. "Metro Walls is proud to be recognized amongst great contractors. Congratulations  to all of the other winners."   The Metro Walls team also won a Merit award from the Associated Builders and Contractors Massachusetts chapter. The award was given to the 60 Penhallow at Brick Market project.  The Excellence in Construction Awards (EIC) honors contractors for their complex, innovative, and high-quality construction projects assessed on criteria including safety, complexity, aesthetics, challenges overcome, cost, and completion time. These awards recognize all members of the construction team, and the winning projects are selected by a panel of judges made up of industry experts. Thank you to ABC for the recognition and putting on two spectacular evenings.

The best part?  All the proceeds from those raffles went straight to the Employee Ownership Foundation!    AUGUST   In August, our team was on a roll, diving into not just one, but THREE  fantastic charity events! At the start of August, we kicked off the month by sponsoring the Friends of Aine Kids Try-athlon, a chi ldren’s event that the company supports year after year.  Along with families from our team participating in the fun event, a company-sponsored table with exciting swag pieces was set up to congratulate the participants on accomplishing the try-athon!  As August wrapped up and summer started to take its final bow, Metro Walls revved things up with our 6th Annual Rally for a Cause Charity Motorcycle Ride! This epic event is so much more than just a scenic ride; it’s a fantastic celebration that brings people together for one last hurrah of the season—all while raising money for an important cause!  This year's charity recipient being The Liberty House.   The Liberty House is a local charity that provides homeless veterans transitional housing and resources to empower them on their journey to independence and self-sufficiency .
