At Petra Construction, we understand that student spaces are places where young adults study, unwind, form friendships, and build community. Nowhere is that more evident than at the Saint Thomas More Catholic Chapel & Center at Yale University, where our work has helped create welcoming environments that support student life in meaningful ways.

As we move through the season of gratitude and giving, we are especially inspired by the generosity of our team. Every hour volunteered, every meal prepared and every donation collected matters. These stories remind us that when we give of ourselves, we build more than structures. We build connection, hope, and community.

When Parker-Hannifin Corporation (Parker) needed a state of the art, automated metal plating facility for its Composite Sealing System Division in North Haven, Connecticut, they turned to Petra Construction Corporation for Design-Build services.  The result: a 10,000 square foot building addition safely executed with unprecedented design solutions and a finely tuned project delivery system built with equality of all project stakeholders at its core.

Petra Construction is proud to support preservation in New Haven. The following projects demonstrate our firm’s commitment to restoring and adapting historic structures with precision and care.

On May 16th, the Petra team celebrated the ribbon-cutting ceremony with Goodspeed Musicals Trustees, Leadership, and Donors, unveiling major renovations to the theater. Key upgrades include a renovated front entrance with an ADA-compliant ramp, expanded porch, automatic front doors, energy-efficient lighting, and a fully renovated parking area. These improvements were completed just in time for the launch of Goodspeed's 2025 season.
