Granger Construction was honored to be recognized at the 140th annual Construction Association of Michigan (CAM) Awards for its contributions to two of the top 12 projects featured in the 2025 October CAM Magazine Special Issue: Michigan Technological University’s H-STEM Building and Genesee County Anthony Ragnone Treatment Plant (ARTP).
Michigan Technological University H-STEM Building
The Michigan Technological University (MTU) H-STEM Engineering and Health Technologies Complex was a $44.4 million new H-STEM building, a state-of-the-art facility built to advance interdisciplinary research and education in health-related STEM fields, is the most significant reflection yet of the University’s commitment to advancing interdisciplinary health-related research and education.
The project was designed to encourage collaborative research and integrated educational programs focused on health-related and human-centered technological innovation, the H-STEM Complex houses transdisciplinary, hands-on and student-led research, further enhancing MTU’s position as a leader in technology and innovation. Construction began in April 2022 and was substantially completed in August 2023.
MTU, in partnership with Granger Construction and Harley Ellis Devereaux, successfully executed this complex build. Learn more about the challenges, technology and solutions that went into building the award-winning MTU H-STEM Building in CAM Magazine’s October special issue (pg. 58-67).
Genesee County Anthony Ragnone Treatment Plant (ARTP)
The Genesee County Anthony Ragnone Treatment Plant (ARTP) was a $30 million new plant that processes sludge from the existing plant to produce natural gas in “digesters” that can be sold back to the Utility and used as a secondary gas source for plant operations.
Work consisted of constructing three digester tanks and one process building and involved $8 million in self-perform concrete work. The digester tanks required unique cone-shaped concrete bottoms that were 22’ deep with 45-degree slopes to help facilitate drainage and flow of the heavy sludge out of the tank, a highly technical concrete placement process. The project team faced numerous challenges, including installing 45,000-pound tank lids that had been prefabricated off-site, requiring innovative technology and incredible precision.
