ST. JOSEPH PARISH CHRISTENS THE NEWLY FINISHED RENOVATIONS
St. Joseph Parish hosted services over Good Friday through Easter Weekend, marking the completion of the work CAM Construction managed this past year. The 12,000 square foot renovations and addition to the historic sanctuary included several new features, including the construction of a new altar and stone arch, new ductwork and HVAC distribution, ornamental tile flooring (thanks to O Squared), a coffered ceiling system with a dome and back-lit stain glass oculus, and a radiused cornice with cove lighting around the perimeter of the sanctuary. In particular, the craftsmen at J A Argetakis completed the difficult ceiling work from a suspended scaffolding system that had to be maneuvered in order to meet the deadline. Additionally, we are extremely proud to have incorporated stones from the Beaver Dam Quarry to create the new arch around the crucifix, as the original church was built using stones from the very same quarry. The emphasis for this project was on “community”, and we are grateful for the opportunity to improve this community space and complete it in time for one of their largest congregations. Special thanks to Msgr Rick Hilgartner and St. Joseph Parish as well as JRS Architects for making this project something truly memorable.
STEHLI SILK MILL: NEWEST FEATURES!
After much anticipation, we have received the initial shipments of 1,400 custom-fabricated windows to be replaced in The Lofts at Stehli Silk Mill! CAM has completed installation of Mill #1, sealing in the building envelope so we can retain heat and complete interior finishes. In addition to the progress on the fenestration, we have completed grading and seeding, site concrete, brick pavers, pole lights, and a fenced-in dog park which we will fill with various artifacts from the Mill. We are thrilled to provide such an amenity for future tenants of the complex, and are looking forward to showing off more of the project as it nears completion.
ST. JOSEPH PARISH: COFFERS, CURVES, AND DOMES!
Critical work at St. Joseph’s Parish in Cockeysville is currently underway. CAM recently built a coffered ceiling system with a central dome, with a radiused cornice around the perimeter of the sanctuary. The craftsmen J A ARGETAKIS CONTRACTING CO performed this artisanal framing & drywall work from a suspended scaffolding platform. We believe this striking design will enhance the awe-inspiring services that the church will hold once mass resumes in this space.

DON’T CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM
Exciting progress is being made at Stehli! With the installation of curbs on the property, the foundation has been laid for driving and parking spaces on the property. Currently, our team is roughing-in conduit for light poles and back-filling behind curbs after conduit installation; sidewalks will be installed the week of June 19th, with roadway paving in July. Following the roadwork will be fine grading for the green spaces that will fill out the rest of the campus, which will provide lush outdoor areas for tenants and visitors alike to enjoy–dog park included!
Stehli Silk Mill Lofts—FRAMING UP THE FUTURE
Adaptive re-use at its finest! We have hit the ground running in Lancaster, PA, since the owner closed on their construction loan back on March 8th. Total development costs for this 250,000 sqft mixed-use project will exceed $40 million. It has been amazing to watch the interior progress unfold over the past 3 months. CAM has nearly finished media blasting Mills #1-3, to safely abate 100 years of lead paint from the facility and expose the rich character of the original brick walls, wood columns, beams, and ceilings. We completed underground plumbing, sawcut, and pour back, and are currently wrapping up the metal stud framing of Mill #1. MEP rough-in has begun, and we will continue cranking from here!
TAKE A TOUR: Behind-the-Scenes Drone Footage of Montebello EMS
Scenes from the Ribbon Cutting at Montebello Elementary/Middle
A buzz of excitement was in the air as CAM wrapped up 2022 by hosting two major ribbon cutting ceremonies IN ONE WEEK, showcasing our recently completed 21st Century Schools Projects: Highlandtown Elementary/Middle and Montebello Elementary/Middle! We were overjoyed to have the chance to unveil these beautiful new facilities to the throngs of students and parents, eager to explore their new classrooms, libraries, dining halls, and collaborative learning spaces. Special thanks to leaders like Governor Larry Hogan, Senate President Bill Ferguson, Mayor Brandon Scott, Council President Nick Mosby, Principal Denise Ashley, Principal Troy Mitchell, and other city advocates who were instrumental in getting these plans approved, who came out to celebrate the momentous occasions and tour the final product.
What better feeling than to give over 1,400 young students the gift of a brand new school for Christmas! Certainly much more work to be done, but together we can change the lives of Marylanders for the better, one building at a time.
