Best Global Projects Award Winner
As part of our global mission trip program, Shook Construction sent eight employees to Mozambique, East Africa, in April 2022 to build new, on-campus teacher dormitories for a remote school. Though simple in nature, the project had an immense and immediate impact on the community of Mucombeze and was recently named a Global Best Projects Award Winner by Engineering News-Record (ENR). In January 2023, we will release a documentary about the trip in the hope of inspiring others to support the communities most in need.

AGC of Ohio - Build Ohio Awards
Dayton Phoenix Group Disaster Recovery
Shook was awarded a Build Ohio Award for our effort to restore Dayton Phoenix Group's 630,000 SF manufacturing facility after it was hit by the Memorial Day tornadoes in 2019. For the last three years, a multitude of people from Shook and our great team of partners poured their hearts into rebuilding this facility. With no notice, no plans, and no budget set, the swift mobility of our team as well as out-of-the-box thinking were required to adapt to every challenge uncovered. Working ~600 days in the facility (with all but 45 being tenant-occupied) and yielding 300,000+ manhours, Shook and our subcontractors had zero lost time injuries and delivered a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to our client. Thank you to DPG for turning to us in your time of need and being the most incredible client that became family, and to AGC of Ohio for recognizing the great effort of our team and honoring us with this award!

2022 Mission Trip
Eight Shook associates recently traveled to Mozambique, East Africa to construct teacher apartments for a remote school. This was our second company Mission Trip in an effort to make our Mission global. Our Mission Trips send a group of Shook employees to a part of the globe where people truly lack the infrastructure that we can help provide. Not only do they assist a struggling community, but they also instill a global perspective in our employees, continuing to embolden our core values of Passion, Balance, Courage, Opportunity, Responsibility, and Fun. This project recently won an Engineering News-Record (ENR) Global Best Projects Award, one of just 34 projects throughout the world to receive the recognition.
