Pinkard Construction received the Historical Preservation Alliance of Colorado Springs' Award of Excellence for its work on the Lennox House at Colorado College.

Pinkard worked with the college and its architect to upgrade life safety systems that bring the building up to code while maintaining its historical integrity.

"Colorado College is fortunate to have such dedicated people in the Pinkard Construction crew," said Joyce Stivers, Historic Preservation's executive director. "They did incredibly beautiful work to restore the house to its original glory. Pinkard's devotion to the restoration resulted in a stunning place for the students to enjoy."

Lennox House - which has served for many years as a coed dormitory - was built in 1900 by Colorado Springs businessman and Cripple Creek investor William Lennox, who served on the school's board of trustees from 1901 until his death in 1936.

Colorado College is at the beginning of a 10-year plan to renovate all of the dormitories on campus.
