October 26, 2023
State-of-the art workplaces lead to well-deserved recognition! Congratulations to The Aspen Group (TAG) for being featured as one of Crain’s Chicago Business Coolest Offices for 2022! This first-generation headquarters space located in Fulton Market features bleacher-style seating that oversees city views, interactive open workstations, and an Aspen Dental prototype office.
We appreciate our continued partnership with TAG, and we’re happy to see them thrive in Chicago and beyond!
Making an impact in the Chicagoland community is accomplished together. This past Saturday and Sunday, our team members and their families joined the Autism Speaks Walks. Both 3-mile walks raised awareness and funds for advocacy and research. The Executive Construction Foundation dedicated the walk and donation to our team member Adam Ruiz and family honoring his son Logan, who passed away in August. Check out the walk and Adam featured on WGN below.
Restoring Vulnerable Chicagoland Communities Together
October 24, 2022
Giving back to local communities is in our DNA. Our volunteer team recently refreshed Gateway Foundation’s Chicago Independence Treatment Center with paint, ceiling, and flooring upgrades.
A non-profit treatment provider that specializes in substance abuse and mental health, Gateway’s rehabilitation center addresses the social, emotional, and physical aspects of addiction to strive towards successful recoveries.
We’re humbled to support their impactful mission, and thankful to our partners at Ascher Brothers Co., Inc., Reinke, DC14 Apprenticeship Program, FloorsMD, and Claire Demos that joined us to give back to this amazing organization.
Last week, our VDC Director, Reed Gallagher, attended the 2nd Annual Reality Capture Network Conference in Boise, Idaho! This three-day event was packed with engaging presentations, panel discussions, and new #technology demonstrations.
The future of laser scanning is advanced together! Reed had a great time reviewing the latest tech and connecting with fellow AEC professionals.
On Friday, Milwaukee School of Engineering Women in Construction students had the opportunity to tour one of our completed #interiors projects—Uber’s Chicago Talent Hub in Chicago’s Old Post Office! A huge shoutout to Project Intern, Tramyqua from MSOE for planning this day to showcase construction projects to these young women in construction!
Our women in construction continue to bring it on every day! Teamforce– including Executive Construction Project Manager Kara Holcomb– built homes today for Chicagoland women thanks to the Habitat for Humanity Women Build Program.
Women Build continues to unite women to build strength, stability, and equality. We’re proud to support their mission and be a part of this impactful day!
Showcasing Trades Careers to the Future Generation
October 6, 2022
Clear, proactive processes lead to successful… future #construction workers! Last night, we had a great time at the Resilient Project UPSTART Trades Fair that showcased trade careers to #Chicagoland high school students. Electricians, carpenters, engineers, and many other trades introduced students to their professions, and potential opportunities!
We’re proud to support Project UPSTART’s mission to provide lucrative career paths in the trades for non-college bound students.
Northern Michigan University’s Women in Construction Day
October 3, 2022
We had a blast at #WomenInConstruction Day hosted by Northern Michigan University Construction Management Program at Technology Center of Dupage! 80 young women from high schools across Chicagoland interacted with professionals in the construction industry and explored hands-on building, urban planning, and virtual demos of trade #careers. We’re grateful to have volunteered for NMU and support their efforts to diversify the building profession.
As we enter a vulnerable time of the year for many throughout Chicago, we’re humbled by the impact our Foundation and team members had on so many community organizations in need. If you’re looking to make a difference, too, please consider supporting these organizations.
We can’t do this without the generosity of our partners that have helped us support nearly 50 organizations so far in 2022! To learn more about our sponsors and the organizations we supported, check out our newsletter below!
