Project Spotlight: Austin United Alliance | Chicago, IL

September is Service Dog Awareness Month!

At American Igloo Builders, we’re proud to be doing our part by raising Darcy, a future service dog through Canine Companions.

Darcy has become a special part of our team as she learns, grows, and prepares for the important work ahead. From the jobsite to the office, our crew gets to be a small part of her journey toward helping someone live a more independent life.

Join us this month in celebrating the incredible impact service dogs have on the lives of the people they support.

Today marks the grand opening ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center — and we’re proud to have played a role in bringing the Athletic Center to life. From the first stages of construction to seeing the exterior stand complete, it’s exciting to watch the vision become reality. Opportunities to contribute to projects that will become part of Chicago’s landscape and community don’t come around every day.

Thank you to everyone involved who helped make it happen. We’re honored to have been part of the team.

Update on our newest teammate Darcy….
She is a busy girl at 5 months old now and goes to work every day at the American Igloo Builders office, making our office a better place to work. 😊

On the weekends, she makes weekly visits to a nursing/rehab facility where she spreads love and also participates in 2x monthly training sessions with other Canine Companion pups in the Chicagoland area.

We’re proud to have contributed on The Haven on Lincoln — a project creating dignified transitional housing for Chicagoans experiencing homelessness.

This transformation of the former Diplomat Motel into a supportive living space represents more than construction; it’s an investment in people, stability, and community. Projects like this remind us that the work we do has the power to create meaningful impact beyond the jobsite.

Thank you to the entire team involved in bringing this important project to life. We’re honored to have played a role in helping build a space designed to provide safety, privacy, and support for those who need it most.

The former Diplomat Motel has been renovated into a transitional housing complex offering 37 private rooms to unhoused residents seeking a fresh start.
