“Crews working on projects with Granger Construction Company – and likely any construction crew – appreciate having a spacious, open area for staging materials. That wasn’t the case when Granger and its contractors signed on to build Michigan State University Federal Credit Union’s new branch at East Lansing’s busiest intersection. The project’s location, adjacent to existing structures and busy streets, required careful planning and execution.” Learn more about MSUFCU’s new 311 Abbot facility and the collaboration that contributed to its transformative presence in downtown East Lansing in CAM Magazine’s October special issue (pg. 10-17): https://lnkd.in/gAj-Qsic ...
