Jacobsen Construction was honored with multiple top awards at the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Utah’s annual convention on January 21, including Contractor of the Year, Project Manager of the Year and five project awards across diverse categories.
“This is an especially gratifying award for us,” said COO John Fortuna of the Contractor of the Year recognition. “It’s given by the State of Utah’s Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM). We love doing our part to make Utah a great place to be, and we’re honored the DFCM values our partnership.”
Also recognized for its innovation and craftsmanship was the Provo City Center Temple (PCCT), which received the award for Renovation/Restoration Project of the Year. John Emery, project manager, also was named AGC’s Project Manager of the Year for leading the charge on the five-year transformation of the fire-ravaged Provo Tabernacle into a beautiful LDS temple.
Logan Regional Hospital’s Budge Clinic took home the win in the Health Care Projects category. “We’re very excited to take home the award for this project, which was very sensitive and complex,” explained Jacobsen’s Project Executive Blake Court. “Logan Regional Hospital is an exceptional partner; we look forward to continued projects with them.”
The Utah Olympic Park Ski Jumps won in the Sports/Recreation (small projects) category. The new jumps offer increased capacity and safety, resulting in optimal training for the United States Ski & Snowboard Association (USSA). The Ogden 2nd District Juvenile Courthouse won Government/Public Building Project of the Year. This new courthouse provides services for 5,000 youth and parents, inspiring positive change for young people and their families.
USU Eastern’s Central Instructional Building (CIB) was awarded Higher Education/Research Building Project of the Year. “We couldn’t have had a greater experience with USU Eastern; they were amazing to work with,” said Jacobsen’s Project Executive Jim Cavey. “The CIB is a modern facility that will serve USU Eastern for years to come; I’m proud to have been a part of that.”
“Awards season is always a wonderful time of year — and this is a banner year for Jacobsen,” said President Doug Welling. “We’re honored by this recognition from AGC Utah and especially proud to be named DFCM’s Contractor of the Year. It motivates us to keep pushing to deliver meaningful, community-changing work.”
