Big thanks to our partners at McLaren Greater Lansing, Kramer Management Group, and Hobbs+Black Architects for helping make this vision a reality.

At the MSU Student Recreation and Wellness Center project, our team hosted a Trades Appreciation Luncheon to celebrate the incredible work of our skilled tradespeople. Over 200 attendees came together to enjoy good food, great company and a well-deserved break. We’re proud to recognize the dedication and craftsmanship that drive this marquee project forward every day.

Granger CEO Glenn Granger and Site Manager, Marc Arthur, had the privilege of taking Michigan State University icon, Coach Tom Izzo, and Vice President for Strategic Infrastructure Planning and Facilities at MSU, Dan Bollman, on a tour of the Student Recreation and Wellness Center project site.  “Coach Izzo expressed interest in touring the site and we were fortunate to find a time that worked with his schedule. He was genuinely enthusiastic and offered high praise for the new facility. It was especially rewarding to have Dan Bollman join Marc, Coach Izzo, and me for the walk-through,” said Glenn.

As part of Construction Suicide Prevention Week, our teams at the University of Michigan Wyly Hall and Trinity Health Livingston projects welcomed Paul Wrzesinski, AGC of Michigan's Director of Safety and Health, for important conversations around mental health in the construction industry. Paul’s message was clear: mental health is just as critical as physical safety on the job site. These events are part of our ongoing commitment to fostering a culture where every team member feels supported, on and off the clock. Thank you to everyone who participated and continues to champion mental wellness in our industry.
