4th Annual Company Shoot
9/19/2008: This year's 4th Annual Company Clay Pigeon Shoot was a great success! Given the blessing of this past summer's volume, many new faces were among the crowd, though the more-seasoned members of the crew were still able to hold their own, both at the range and at the table. The tournament prize went to superintendent Bronson Clayton after someone forgot to tell him that the Boss always wins. Many thanks to Johnny Debolt for his good-hearted willingness to man the thrower while simultaneously losing his hat to 2 dozen shells.

Architect Goes Green Top to Bottom
5/9/2008: Irish Construction is proud to celebrate the recent completion of A3C’s L.E.E.D. certified renovations. Nestled in the heart of Ann Arbor, A3C’s Green Renovation and Rooftop Retreat involved an extensive retro-fit integration of a wide variety of green building systems. Such systems included a geo-thermal heating and cooling system which uses the earth’s constant subterranean temperature of 54 degrees to moderate the varying surface temperatures, as well as catch basins for the utilization of rain water and skylights for using natural light in the existing workspaces. To crown the achievement, the Rooftop Retreat was specifically created to serve as a destination for “hands-on” education of green technologies, marking a resolved commitment to promote responsible building for generations to come.

Grand Opening of Bert’s Café
2/20/2008: A Welcoming site to students and guests of U of M Shapiro Library, Bert’s Café is a project that has special significance to the U of M community beyond the killer mochas. President Mary Sue Coleman and Regent Rebecca McGowan took part in the ceremony to honor the generosity of the alumnus Bertram J Askwith (U of M class of 1931). Best know as Bert, his donations to U of M have made much of Shapiro Library possible. Hurray to our Superintendent Mike Sylvester and our Project Manager Tom Anderson for making this fast-tracked project a huge success! “See you at Bert’s!”
