JLG Architects

On National Intern Day, we seized the opportunity to celebrate the hard work of 🎉JLG's amazing interns!🎉 The day was packed with treats, goal setting, a Q&A panel with JLGers, a tour of the Eagan Art House, networking "speed dating," and a round of mini-golf ⛳️. This fun-filled field trip was a hole-in-one for building stronger connections, sharing laughs, and reminding every intern just how much they mean to us.

If there are two things JLG's Sports Studio loves, it's winning and the unifying power of sports. You can't top the Olympics for celebrating both! As we gear up to cheer on athletes from around the globe on the world's biggest stage, we’re grateful to play a role in incredible spaces closer to home, where local athletes of all levels can train to chase their dreams.

Today was a great day to make history at TEDxFargo, with JLG's Patrick Thibaudeau taking the stage to introduce Craig Dykers of the international design firm Snøhetta. JLG is proud to work alongside Craig and his team as the Architect-of-Record for the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, ND! This "Living Library" will carry on Roosevelt’s passion for conservation, honoring ecological systems and serving as a global model for sustainable living. The project’s architectural team — Architect-of-Record JLG Architects, international Design Architect and Design Landscape Architect Snøhetta, Landscape Architect-of-Record Confluence, and Construction Manager JE Dunn — are ready to make history, opening 2026!

Whether developing a single building or an entire city block, the investment risk is big, bold, and real, but nothing to be afraid of. From integration of sustainable features to smart security, commerce partners, and indoor/outdoor lifestyle amenities, JLG Architects knows how to hit the sweet spot for long-term financial success.
