Dayton Builders Exchange Showcase Award Winner
Dayton Phoenix Group Disaster Recovery
Shook is honored to have received the prestigious Builders Exchange of Dayton (DBX) Showcase Award along with our client and trusted friends at the Dayton Phoenix Group (DPG) for our work to restore their 630,000 SF manufacturing facility. In 2019, DPG took a direct hit from the Memorial Day tornadoes, leaving the facility in shambles. DPG quickly made the decision to rebuild in Dayton and Shook was on site within hours after the tornado to assist with the effort. In the words of the DBX press release, “This project has been a success story for Dayton-Phoenix, the Shook Construction team, and the Dayton area in general. It is a Showcase as to how Dayton supports its business community and an example to other companies looking for a home for their operations and expansions. Dayton has the design, construction, and workforce capabilities to make a project successful as well as provide long-term support.”

Dayton Metro Library Huber Heights Branch
Shook has built 10 new libraries and renovated two libraries as a part of the Dayton Metro Library’s $187 million “Libraries for a Smarter Future” facilities upgrade program. On June 14, we celebrated the groundbreaking of the program’s capstone project, the Huber Heights Branch. In lieu of shoveling dirt, attendees signed bricks to highlight the prominent feature of the new library and recognize the city's history as “America’s largest community of brick homes”. The new, 27,000-square-foot facility will be DML’s second-largest branch and feature a community room, multiple study areas, conference rooms, and program spaces for children and teens. It has been an honor to partner with DML and the Dayton Design Collaborative over the last seven years on this program to provide greater access to learning and create collaborative spaces for our community.
