It pays to stay! After three incredible years at JLG, these dedicated employee-owners have hit a major milestone—now 100% vested in the company they've helped build. Congratulations to all our newly vested owners!

We believe in the power of career-focused and state-of-the-art learning environments and the award-winning Aldevron tower at North Dakota State University is a perfect example.⚕️ The rapidly growing College of Health Professions was pursuing progressive teaching strategies to meet critical workforce shortages and departmental accreditation requirements. The addition to former Sudro Hall created a solution that co-locates the School of Pharmacy and Nursing, Allied Science, and Public Health and provides more hands-on learning spaces for students. 🏆AIA North Dakota, Honor Award Learn more about how we design for higher education with the future in mind: https://lnkd.in/gqSicJaT

We're swinging for the fences at the New Lenox Crossroads Sports Complex! JLG is teaming with The Sports Facilities Companies and the Village of New Lenox to design the new 100-acre sports complex in New Lenox, IL. The facility will support sluggers across the region with 31 state-of-the-art baseball and softball fields and deliver a homerun spectator experience with a beer garden and concessions. Phase I of the New Lenox Crossroads Sports Complex will also feature 11 soccer/multi-purpose turf fields and a playground, bringing even more opportunities to keep the community active.

Investment in a second-life opportunity for an underutilized & energy-hungry legacy classroom building is a foundational “three birds - one stone” story for the UND Merrifield Hall Renovation where the JLG team is delivering a full reimagining of the 1929 historic building in the University of North Dakota historic district. As Merrifield approaches its 100 yr anniversary it does so with: - a century’s worth of legacy celebrated. - an energy and embodied-carbon story positioning it for an impactful (and resource responsible) next 100 years. - and an 21st century overhaul in education pedagogy and academic workplace innovation. The trifecta is transforming Merrifield into a reimagined central campus gem and cultural destination for students, faculty, and returning alumni. This project’s story and lessons-learned is experience has the potential to be leveraged on hundreds of campuses across the country with similar deferred maintenance / cultural burdens. Slated for a soft opening in January, look for the official ribbon cutting celebration later in 2025. Video with more here: https://lnkd.in/gGwfA9M5

We enjoyed connecting with innovative educators, sharing insights, and exploring the future of learning environments.
