MIRON CONSTRUCTION HAS RECEIVED the 2010 Excellence in Construction- New Construction award for its work on UW-Whitewater’s Timothy J. Hyland Hall, the new home of the College of Business and Economics. The Neenah-based company was honored by the Wisconsin Division of State Facilities for its impressive recycling rate, early building completion and clean safety record. The company recycled 98% percent of demolition waste from the three residence halls that were removed to make room for Hyland Hall.

“The College of Business and Economics had an excellent experience partnering with Miron Construction as they built Timothy J. Hyland Hall,” Interim Dean Lois Smith says. “The outstanding record of recycling materials from three former residence halls indicates the importance that Wisconsin industry places on sustainability. Miron met timelines while maintaining a safe environment of their workers. Every day, we have the opportunity to enjoy the work by Miron Construction.”

Hyland hall, which opened in July 2009, has been recognized as a  state model for sustainability. In 2007, the building project won WasteCap’s Big Diverter Award in the demolition category for the highest recycling rate of demolition waste. Miron recycled concrete, brick wood, cans bottles and office paper.
