🎉 Flashback Friday!
Earlier this week, we announced that we’ve been awarded the Construction Specifications Institute’s 2025 Design-Build Award for our work on the Ultraphil Center for Aseptic Excellence —and we’re still riding the high! 🙌
Today, we’re flashing back to last year, when we proudly accepted the 2024 Design-Build Award for our work on the Peko Precision Manufacturing Building. 🏆 Huge thanks again to Maguire Properties, Livingston Associates and Herrick Saylor Engineers—this project was a true showcase of the power of Integrated Design-Build to accelerate schedules and control costs.
Two years, two awards. Let’s keep building!

🎉 We’re proud to announce that Mitchell Design Build has been awarded the Construction Specifications Institute’s 2025 Design-Build Award for our work on the JCS Process and Control Systems UltraPhil Center for Aseptic Excellence! 🏆
