Meet Darcy, our newest (and furriest) colleague! 🐾

We are thrilled to announce we're part of the Canine Companions® puppy raising program! Over the next 16 to 18 months, we will be helping raise Darcy, a Labrador/Golden Retriever mix, as she begins her journey to becoming a life-changing service dog.
As volunteer puppy raisers, our team will provide Darcy with a safe home, basic obedience training, and essential socialization to prepare her for professional service dog school.

Why are we doing this?

Mission-Driven: Canine Companions provides expertly trained service dogs to children, adults, and veterans with disabilities at no cost to the recipient.

Independence: These dogs are trained in over 45 tasks—from pulling wheelchairs to opening doors—to provide their future partners with greater independence.

Community: Raising a future service dog in the workplace encourages disability awareness and strengthens our team bond.

Follow along as we share updates on Darcy’s progress! 🐕‍🦺💛

Cold Storage Fun Fact: The Chicago Stockyards transformed America’s food system thanks to a game-changer: refrigerated railcars invented in the 1870s by industry giants. The refrigerated car allowed for the rise of a "dressed" beef industry, where the animals were slaughtered and processed closer to the source before being shipped to markets nationwide. This changed the way Americans ate and paved the way for a more centralized and efficient food supply chain. From railcars to modern warehouses, temperature control has been shaping the way we eat for over 150 years… and we’re proud to carry on that tradition, serving some of the very same businesses whose humble beginnings trace back to the Stockyards.

American Igloo Builders is excited to be working with Walsh Construction on the CTA-RPM project which is updating the century-old Clark Junction where the Red, Purple, and Brown Line trains currently intersect, while also rebuilding the Lawrence, Argyle, Berwyn, Bryn Mawr stations, and all the tracks and support structures for more than a mile adjacent to the stations. CTA-RPM will eliminate train congestion by allowing eight additional Red Line trains per hour during rush periods, accommodating up to 7,200 more customers per hour during those periods while increasing Red and Purple line train speeds.

Walsh Construction, along with joint venture partner Fluor, has been selected by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) as the preferred partner to design and build Phase One of the Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Program.

American Igloo Builders is excited to be working with F.H. Paschen on the Westlake Corridor Project. This project aims to build an extension onto the preexisting south shore transit line in the high growth area of Northwestern Indiana. Lake County, Indiana has a continually growing population of commuters who must drive in heavy traffic for work without another option until this extension. Not only is this an option for commuters to reliably get to work but it extends the hiring pool for businesses and promotes business growth in the surrounding area of new stations.

Munster and Dyer Residents: Construction work scheduled near the intersection of Main St and Sheffield Ave from Tuesday Dec. 3, 2024 through Friday Jan. 31, 2025. Learn more
