Dear Friends, Colleagues and Associates:

It is with the deepest of regret that I write to inform you that my friend and associate, Dan Fellegara
was struck by a moving vehicle while visiting friends in New York City early yesterday morning. Dan was
immediately rushed to the hospital where he was unable to be revived.

Details of this tragedy remain fluid and all of us at Costello Construction are devastated and shocked by
this sudden and epically tragic event. Dan was an outstanding and exemplary employee and a personal
friend. He was reliable, professional at all times, diligent and detailed. Dan Fellegara is irreplaceable.

As details become clearer and information regarding upcoming events make their way to Costello
Construction, we will immediately pass them along. In the meantime please keep Dan and his family in
your thoughts and prayers. Today would have been Dan’s 29th birthday.

David C. Costello

December, 2011 – Baltimore, MD – Costello Construction continues an impressive streak of recognition with the Silver Spring Civic Building at Veterans Plaza earning the esteemed 2011 Public Building of the Year award from the Maryland chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

“This project perfectly fit the award – it was a project that we could all very clearly identify as offering something intensely public to the city of Silver Spring. The project seemed to be extraordinarily well detailed and really exceptional. It has a huge scale which allows it to have presence along the plaza and it seemed to create a kind of physical representation of a place where people could gather for communal activities. This was an obvious choice for this award.” – AIA Maryland Jury Comments

The multi-use facility, designed by internationally recognized Machado and Silvetti Associates, was constructed with the utmost detail. Amenities include multi-media resource and meeting rooms, a great room with the capacity for 800 people, an art gallery, open air courtyard, ice rink, office spaces and the Round House Theatre. Notable elements in the building include fritted glass used for climate control, IPE siding, fiber component rain screens, natural stone and bamboo floors and a high efficiency HVAC system that has magnetic bearings to reduce electricity consumption.

The project also gained honors from AIA New England, earning a 2011 Special Citation for Design Excellence award.
