Lewis safety manager Jennifer Putnam-Petrone

AGC of Washington Names Jennifer Putnam-Petrone 2026 Safety Professional of the Year

We’re proud to share that AGC of Washington has named Lewis safety manager Jennifer Putnam-Petrone the 2026 Safety Professional of the Year—a well-deserved recognition of a career defined by leadership, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to keeping people safe.

Starting her career as a carpenter more than 25 years ago, Jennifer brings firsthand field experience that gives her credibility with crews and leaders alike.

Jennifer’s impact at Lewis is both broad and deeply personal. A mentor to safety professionals across our Washington division, she has a rare ability to translate complex regulations into clear, practical guidance that crews can trust and apply in the field. She approaches every new rule or requirement with care and curiosity, digging into the details, offering thoughtful feedback, and making sure teams understand not just what is changing, but why it matters. That patience and clarity have helped strengthen a safety culture rooted in shared responsibility and continuous improvement.

UW Anderson Hall renovation

Breathing New Life into UW's Anderson Hall Through Progressive Design-Build Delivery

Late Friday afternoon, our University of Washington Anderson Hall team received a temporary certificate of occupancy for this transformational renovation!

Anderson Hall is the century-old hub for University of Washington School of Environmental and Forest Sciences. Delivered via progressive design-build with Hennebery Eddy Architects, the project combines seismic upgrades, accessibility improvements, and historic preservation.

Crews have cleaned the façade, repaired a section of the roof, and installed new seismic bracing. Another key element is the addition of an elevator. A new two-story curtain wall on the south end brings in natural light, creates a welcoming entrance, and provides visual connections with other nearby School of Environmental and Forest Sciences buildings.

Protecting and restoring five historically significant areas—the exterior, Forest Club Room, auditorium, two stairwells, and main entry—was a major focus. Woodwork, plaster details, and other original features were removed, cataloged, and reinstalled.

By managing risk during the seismic and abatement phases, the team saved contingency funds that made it possible to add air conditioning.

At its core, this renovation will ensure that Anderson Hall is accessible to all while supporting the vital work of environmental and natural resources instruction and research.

A spring ribbon-cutting ceremony is on the horizon!
