Cecil County Public Library – North East Branch
This new 47,225-square-foot facility was a dream of the community for over a decade and the design and craftsmanship had to be of the highest quality. The new library is designed for adults, teens, and young children alike, and includes spaces for meetings, a technology suite, an entrepreneurial center, hands-on learning centers, a quiet reading room with a gas fireplace, 10 study co-working rooms, a digital media lab with a sound booth and recording studio, a second- floor exterior patio, and administrative wing, and so much more. BIM models were used to provide real-time costs estimating options as well as catch issues that would have been costly to discover during construction. The quality of the facility
is something the entire library community and project team can be most proud of.

City of Newark South Well Treatment Plant
Preferred Electric provided the installation of electrical distribution, lighting, fire alarm and controls and lighting protection for the City of Newark’s South Well Field Water Treatment Plant. This project involved the installation of an air stripper critical to improving the drinking water quality to city residents. The project faced a number of challenges, including site access, working in an active water treatment plant and coordinated and time-limited electrical shutdowns. In spite of these challenges, Preferred successfully completed this key project component.
