ROCKVILLE, Md. - EntSun -- The Village at Rockville–A National Lutheran Community is pleased to announce Glenmere, an independent living expansion project of 130 apartment homes, has been awarded an Award of Merit in the 2021 ENR MidAtlantic Best Project Awards.

Glenmere was one of only 32 projects awarded in the ENR MidAtlantic Awards.

According to ENR MidAtlantic, projects were evaluated on the ability of the project team to overcome challenges, their contribution to the industry and community, safety, construction and design quality.

Regarding the awards, ENR MidAtlantic's Justin Rice said, "Although it was hard to find something to celebrate in 2020, ENR MidAtlantic's Best Projects judges took comfort in the fact that great projects were still completed despite a year full of challenges."

The Glenmere expansion was erected on the west side of The Village at Rockville's campus adjutant to the Health Center. The Village at Rockville's Executive Director Kyle Hreben shared, "As an organization, our mission is to honor, inspire and support choice and opportunity in partnership with older adults. As we evaluated what older adults are looking for in a community, we knew we needed to build apartment homes to give an array of housing choices and new common area amenities that allow for a more connected experience for residents."
