Pouring concrete is pouring concrete, until it's for a bunker housing a 𝙣𝙪𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧. We poured walls up to 10 feet thick and 20 feet tall, all inside an existing building with a roof overhead. The rebar layout alone was an engineering feat, and the mix—designed to shield radioactive byproducts—was so dense that trucks could only haul six cubic yards at a time instead of the usual ten (and we needed 𝟮𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗖𝗬𝘀 total). The coolest part: Nuclear physicists and researchers will use this facility to develop new ways to fight cancer. We don't know much about particle physics, but we know concrete, and we're proud our work helps make theirs possible.

This week, I had the privilege of serving breakfast to 131 women alongside fellow senior marketing managers and Volunteers of America Utah at the Geraldine E. King Women’s Resource Center. Grateful to be part of a group that started together in 2020 and continues to lead through service. Layton Construction, Brooke Schwager, Tim Garrick, Sydney Pothier, Jamie Wallace

When you're somewhere that long, you become part of the community.   "Showing up for the communities we're in is just as important as the buildings we deliver," said Tom Bethmann, Layton Healthcare Director. "We're proud to support St. Joseph's and the mission they have here in Stockton."   See you at next year's starting line!

The building doubles as a living laboratory where smart sensor technology monitors structural loading, heat gain, and environmental conditions, letting students learn from the structure itself.   "This accomplishment reflects the collective strength of dedicated professionals working together toward a shared vision—demonstrating what can be achieved when people unite to deliver something truly significant," said Dave Whimpey, Executive Vice President at Layton.   Proud to have built this alongside VCBO Architecture, Reaveley Engineers, Utah's Division of Facilities Construction and Management, and a project team that showed up every day.   Go Wolverines!   Read more about this event here: https://bit.ly/3LORuoI

Our Cedar Rapids team partnered with The Weitz Company and QTS Data Centers to tackle food insecurity during National Poverty in America Awareness Month. MEALS FROM THE HEARTLAND brought the ingredients and equipment directly to the jobsite, and Hawkeye Area Community Action Program delivered the meals to local food banks.   One in six children in Iowa is facing hunger. This was one way to help.   Read more about this event: https://bit.ly/49UtDNB

After nearly 30 years playing downtown, Utah Baseball finally has a place of their own on campus: 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸. Head coach Gary Henderson said it best: "It gives our kids a home, a sense of belonging, a sense of purpose." The facility sits at the highest point on campus, with views as impressive as the rest: a FieldTurf playing surface, seating for 1,200, plus an outfield berm. Inside? Locker rooms, a weight room, sports medicine suite, indoor hitting tunnels, and a pitching lab brings everything the program needs, finally under one roof. This one took the entire bench. Hats off to University of Utah, Utah Athletics, VCBO Architecture, Populous, and Salt Lake City for all pulling in the same direction to get this done. We were glad to bring it home. First home game is March 6. Play ball!

Situated between the iconic Beverly Hilton and The Los Angeles Country Club, the tower sits above a six-level podium and will deliver a limited number of residences, each with a private balcony and a pool on every floor. Layton EVP Tyler Dillon and Eric Wilson, Head of Construction at Cain, share what it takes to build something like this—and what it means to bring a project of this scale to #LosAngeles. Phased completion is slated to begin in 2027. More to come.

From the Panhandle to Miami, this team has been building across Florida for over a decade. National #Florida Day felt like a good excuse to get everyone together.   If you're curious what we've been up to down here, take a look: https://bit.ly/46dtvGm
