Women in Construction Week March 6th - March 12th 2022
The week (March 6th - March 12th, 2022) is observed to appreciate the women who have taken the bold step to enter the construction industry and encourage those willing to make similar commitments. The history of Women in Construction Week is linked with that of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) founded in 1953.
NAWIC offers its members education, support, and networking to help advance their careers in construction, build their technical skills, and become leaders. This week is a time to highlight women's significant initiatives and work within the industry and bring to light opportunities available to women in construction.
Women in Construction Week inspires many companies to showcase the work of women who work in construction and strengthen and amplify women's success in the industry, help women wrap their minds around working in a nontraditional field and train them to excel in those careers.
This week assists the NAWIC champion women to impact the construction industry's direction and provide education, community, and advocacy, helping to see more women in leadership and mentorship roles.

In collaboration with BWBR Architects (St. Paul) and Knutson Construction (Minneapolis), our team brought their design vision to reality for the comprehensive glass and glazing renovation at the University of Minnesota's Shepherd Laboratory. This project was strategically designed to: Transform the research and instructional environments spanning floors 3-5 Enhance thermal performance via contemporary glazing solutions and advanced curtain wall technology Foster a dynamic atmosphere conducive to collaboration and adaptable work arrangements Elevate the visual character and architectural presence of the building Embrace environmentally responsible design practices, including specialized bird-friendly glass treatments

Due to our "challenging" winter weather conditions, building maintenance professionals frequently schedule glass atrium and curtainwall repair initiatives when spring arrives. Among our current projects in this category are the 1550 Utica Avenue Tower (St. Louis Park), Glass Atrium Roof rehabilitation, and the restoration of curtainwall components at Reflections Condominiums (Bloomington).
Crowe Construction (St. Louis Park) contacted us about replacing the skylights at Artistry on 10th, a modern luxury apartment complex. The existing skylights were extremely leaky, aesthetically unappealing, had poor opacity, and failed to meet current-day structural requirements. They allowed minimal natural light to enter the space, provided little comfort or functionality, and were energy inefficient.
Through a strategic collaboration with ESG Architecture (Minneapolis) and Kraus-Anderson Construction (Minneapolis), we provided the exterior glazing on The Larking—a landmark 16-story development redefining urban residential spaces in Minneapolis.
The owner of Vadnais Heights Commons reached out to us to address issues with their existing glass skylights, which were failing structurally, causing excessive heat buildup, and experiencing persistent leaks.
OK, we admit it's not exactly an Oscar. When Accenture needed a smartly designed space that allowed natural light to flow through while ensuring the right level of visual and acoustic privacy they turned to Modernfold.
We're excited to share the results of two, recent commercial skylight projects in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. Our innovative skylight systems help enhance natural light, boost energy efficiency, and create brighter, more comfortable spaces for occupants.
