Giving back is at the heart of what we do at JE Dunn. In 2025, our Community Impact team launched the Cornerstone Campaign, an annual initiative to intentionally invest $1.5M+ in a cause chosen by our employees, in addition to our existing annual giving. This year, more than 1,300 employees voted to focus our giving on healthcare and mental health access for veterans. Congratulations to our East region grant recipients: Veterans Bridge Home, Shepherd Center’s SHARE Military Initiative, Veterans Life Center, and WOMEN VETERANS SUPPORT SERVICES, INC (WVSS).

A major milestone for the future of American shipbuilding. Alongside our joint venture partner, Alberici Constructors, we’ve topped out Saronic Technologies’ $300 million shipyard expansion in Franklin, Louisiana. The 300K+ SF expansion will add three new slips, expanded warehouse capacity and a dedicated production line for Saronic’s autonomous Marauder vessels. With a peak workforce of 200, the team is advancing this complex project on an accelerated schedule, with completion expected in early 2027.

MJ & Scottie. Buzz & Woody. Batman & Robin. Galinda & Elphaba. All legendary duos. In Arizona, our Phoenix office thinks Megan Lindsey and Parker Long deserve their names up with the other great duos of our time. This strong partnership was forged through our Dunn from Day 1 program, which is a mentorship initiative to help onboard new employees. Megan was Parker's Dunn from Day 1 partner, and the rest is history. The two have become an excellent duo across multiple projects.

Things are getting pretty serious in Austin. 👀 The Austin Convention Center construction is making major progress, and when it reopens, it’s aiming for a pretty significant sustainability milestone: becoming the world’s first Zero Carbon Certified Convention Center. The project is a JE Dunn + Turner Construction Company joint venture, partnering with the City of Austin to make that goal a reality. Learn more about the project’s sustainability goals in our Impact Report: https://jedne.ws/4cBPHNF

Building the next generation of sports facilities takes more than great design. It takes teams who know how to bring those ideas to life. That’s what Scott Sherry, R.A, LEED AP has been doing at JE Dunn for more than 19 years. As our National Sports Director, Scott is helping put Kansas City on the map for sports construction. The Kansas City Business Journal has named Scott one of its “20 People to Know in Construction,” recognizing his leadership on projects including CPKC Stadium, the University of Kansas Gateway District and the Cotton Bowl expansion. Congratulations, Scott!
