Celebrating Excellence: LEMOINE’s Achievements at the 2024 ABC New Orleans Excellence in Construction Awards
For nearly 25 years, LEMOINE has proudly participated in the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Excellence in Construction Awards, showcasing our unwavering commitment to quality and innovation through local and national recognition.
This year, we are thrilled to announce that the ABC New Orleans Chapter has honored three of our projects with Excellence Awards!
Taxiway F Phase III – Lafayette Regional Airport
For the first time, our Infrastructure division entered the competition with the Taxiway F Phase III project at Lafayette Regional Airport, earning an Excellence Award at the annual banquet on November 7, 2024. This critical project improved access and efficiency, following the successful completion of the airport’s new terminal, also delivered by LEMOINE Building Construction.
“Throughout the project, LEMOINE demonstrated exceptional diligence, professionalism, and innovation.”
– Steven Picou, AAE, ACE, Executive Director, Lafayette Regional Airport
Truman Early Childhood Education Center
Also in Lafayette, Louisiana, the Truman Early Childhood Education Center received an Excellence Award for its innovative “sunburst” design, which maximizes functionality by creating dedicated clusters for 480 pre-kindergarten students. This project is a testament to our enduring partnership with the Lafayette Parish School System, which continues with the new Lafayette High School, currently under construction.
West Jefferson Medical Center
One of our largest healthcare endeavors to date, the West Jefferson Medical Center expansion and renovation project was also recognized with an Excellence Award. Completed in December 2023, this nearly $90 million project transformed 218,000 square feet of healthcare space on the Marrero campus. Key highlights include a new emergency department entrance, advanced trauma bays, and specialized pediatric areas.
This project was meticulously phased to ensure uninterrupted operations despite challenges posed by COVID-19 and Hurricane Ida, a true testament to the resilience and dedication of our team.
Excellence in Safety
In addition to project accolades, LEMOINE was once again recognized by the ABC New Orleans Chapter Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP) program with a Diamond Award. Safety is our #1 Core Value, and we are honored to maintain this important recognition.
Thank You
We extend heartfelt congratulations to our team members, industry partners, and the clients who trust us to deliver excellence. Thank you to the communities that support our transformational work—we look forward to continuing to make a lasting impact!
