Featured Projects

Graciano Corporate Headquarters

In 1997, Graciano’s New Construction Division undertook its first project by building the new headquarters building for Graciano Corporation. Situated on a steeply sloped site that provides stunning views of the rolling hills that surround suburban Pittsburgh, the building is designed in a freeform shape that accommodates the terrain and provides maximum floor space. The structure features column and beam construction coupled with poured concrete sub floors. The exterior of the building is skinned in brick and accented with ribbon window treatments outfitted with tinted glass and brushed aluminum trim. (view project)

New Castle Transit Authority

The New Castle Area Transit Authority office and maintenance building was built in 2001 as an addition to their facilities in Western Pennsylvania. Constructed with 20 kinds of block, including split-faced, glazed and fluted concrete material, as well as glass block, the building features a standing-seam metal mansard roof system, which required strong structural support members. As the new masonry contractor on this project, Graciano coordinated work with all the other subcontractors, to ensure the assignment followed the critical path of the project. Specifically, Graciano’s work included laying out walls, placing steel rebar, lintels, and imbeds in walls and laying block. (view project)

Graciano Intern Program

Graciano Corporation is helping to acquaint engineering and architectural students with the challenges of the real world through innovative internship programs.

Participating students — drawn from many of the country’s leading colleges and universities — collect company and field data, work directly with management and teams, and conduct extensive research. Interns then develop and present to Graciano’s management recommendations for ongoing program enhancements. Interns work on flexible schedules and partner with Graciano employees who help the students develop and refine their skills.
