Celebrating Excellence: Graco Distribution Center Named Finance & Commerce Top Project

We are thrilled to announce that the Graco Distribution Center project has been recognized as a Finance & Commerce Top Projects award honoree for 2023! This prestigious accolade celebrates excellence and innovation in Minnesota’s built environment.

The Graco Distribution Center, located at 12225 W. French Lake Road, Dayton, MN, is a testament to the collaborative effort and exceptional craftsmanship. Owned by Graco Inc., constructed by McGough, designed by JLG Architects, and engineered by Sambatek (civil), Emanuelson-Podus (mechanical), and VAA (structural), this project exemplifies the highest standards of construction and design.

The construction industry faced numerous challenges in 2023, including inflation, higher interest rates, and labor shortages. However, the Graco Distribution Center and 53 other projects showcased remarkable resilience and innovation, earning them a place among the Finance & Commerce Top Projects. This is a testament to the industry’s ability to overcome obstacles and thrive.

An independent panel of judges evaluated each project based on criteria such as degree of difficulty, creativity in design, innovative construction techniques, cooperation among contractors and management, and sustainability efforts.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to everyone involved in making the Graco Distribution Center a success. Your collective dedication and commitment have truly set a benchmark in the industry, and we are all proud to be part of this achievement.
