Field House at Gill St. Bernard's School, Gladstone, NJ

GLADSTONE, NJ—Hollister Construction Services has completed construction of a new 14,400-square-foot recreational facility for Gill St. Bernard's, an independent, nonsectarian, coeducational, college preparatory school in Gladstone, NJ. Gill St. Bernard's new field house will open its doors to athletes and staff this month.

“We are thrilled to open this wonderful new facility on our campus. Its completion will allow us to now move ahead with the construction of the new performing arts center,” says Sid Rowell, head of school at Gill St. Bernard's School.

Built from a pre-engineered steel structure, the multi-purpose recreational center and gymnasium features bleachers that seat approximately 200 people, a multi-sport practice and game court, new locker rooms with 120 double-height lockers, new bathrooms, and a new fitness and exercise facility. The recreational facility also serves as the main gymnasium for Lower and Middle School students. The project required extensive site-work and landscaping, as well as the installation of all new utility services required to support the new facility.

“As students returned to the Gill St. Bernard's campus earlier this month, they were pleased to see and experience this remarkable new facility,” says Kieran Flanagan, president at Hollister. “The new recreation building is a powerful asset for both Gill St. Bernard and its students, and we were pleased to support the school by bringing this project to completion swiftly and efficiently.”

Hollister has extensive experience in the construction of educational facilities. The firm's portfolio of notable projects includes K-12 private institutions, urban charter schools and higher-education institutions throughout the tri-state area. Most recently, the company completed five new charter schools located in Newark and Jersey City and just completed a multi-phase renovation for the Pingry School Lower School, an independent day school in Short Hills, NJ.

The Hollister team on the project included Kieran Flanagan, project executive; Brian Lemchak, senior project manager; Michael Nappo, superintendent; Allison Koterba, project coordinator, and Frank Caputo, senior estimator. The project was designed by USA Architects with civil design by Dynamic Engineering Consultants.
