We Build…® Our Legacy, Together

This spring has been filled with opportunities to connect with clients, colleagues, and industry partners. Whether at the Corey Griffin Foundation Golf Tournament, the CoreNet Awards, or supporting Cathleen Stone Island, each event helps strengthen relationships and deepen the connections that extend beyond our projects.

“Thank you again for being such a valued partner throughout our Andover facility buildout. We truly appreciate your support and collaboration in helping bring the project to life.”

JC&A was thrilled to partner with Ci Design to deliver a 95,000 SF warehouse and office renovation for our friends at Red Thread in Andover, MA.

In addition to the new 85,000 SF warehouse and 10,000 SF office and showroom, the updated space features a new technology lab, open workspace and private offices, a café, customer lounge, mock-up space, and a product showroom designed to showcase Red Thread’s different furniture and glass front systems.

We Build…® With Gratitude

At JC&A, Memorial Day goes beyond just a day. We’re inspired every day by our teammates who have served on the front lines defending our freedom, giving us even more to be grateful for this time of year. We’re incredibly proud to work alongside several Veterans—both in the field and in the office—and deeply thankful that the community we’ve built here at JC&A reflects their strength, dedication, and values.

We extend our sincerest gratitude to all veterans, including our JC&A family members Nick Allie, Andre Grant, Isaac Mello, Hope Moore and Dale White for their service.

We Build…® Our Legacy, Together

On this #ThrowbackThursday, we remember when our Founder and CEO, Jay Calnan, was recognized with the Patriot Award by the SEAL Legacy Foundation for his commitment to supporting their mission of providing support to families of wounded and fallen United States Navy SEALs, educational assistance for SEALs and their families, and other charitable causes benefiting the SEAL community.

JC&A has long been a supporter of the SEAL Legacy Foundation and is proud to have sponsored the event in years past.

15 years ago, @GoTeamIMPACT made their very first match: Ben with St Anselm Hockey. At this year's Game Day Gala, Ben and his mom were welcomed back to celebrate 15 years of Team IMPACT. It was amazing to see where he is now and share with Ben how 4500 children nationwide have had the experience of joining a team like he did!

We are so proud to be founding partners of this amazing organization and its continued success.

We Build…® Our Legacy, Together

This week, the JC&A team gathered at the Squantum Yacht Club for our latest company meeting, an opportunity to reflect, reconnect, and celebrate the people who make us who we are.

In today’s world, it’s rare for people to stay in one place for long. At JC&A, loyalty runs deep. That commitment speaks to our culture, our dedication to community, and the opportunities we create for one another.

We proudly celebrated some incredible project AND personal milestones, heard from our senior leaders, and recognized special achievements of our teammates. We’re all looking forward to celebrating our 30th anniversary with a big bash later this year!

Being a teammate means showing up for each other, always! That’s the lesson that Sarah has taught Cory, her Team IMPACT match on the Bentley Swim & Dive team.

“She always includes me. She came to visit me and cheered me up when I broke my arm. She takes me to special events. I love her so much! The best friend ever!” says Cory. This is what Team IMPACT is all about! Read more about their special bond here: https://t.co/IMUlFhZlVt

We Build…® The JC&A Way

As focused and committed as we are to our clients, JC&A is equally as dedicated to giving back to our community. JCAres, our philanthropic committee that is fostered and driven by the company, supports various charitable groups, non-profit organizations and institutions annually including Team IMPACT, Habitat for Humanity, Rosie’s Place, Interfaith Social Services, JDRF, Champions for Children, Father Bills & Mainspring and the Ellie Fund.

Last weekend, a group of JC&Aers teamed up with the town of Braintree, led by VSO George Andes, to place flags at the graves of all of the veterans buried at Blue Hills Cemetery. The annual tradition occurs just in time for Memorial Day!

JC&A was proud to sponsor this week’s 3rd annual Pickle Me Pink! — one of PLA!’s signature events that brings together women in the AEC industry for connection, community, and a little friendly competition. Hosted at the brand-new PickleBos, the event created a fun and energetic atmosphere for building relationships, supporting women across the industry, and celebrating the power of networking outside the office.

The women of JC&A had a blast hitting the courts, connecting with fellow AEC professionals, and enjoying delicious bites from The Dirty Italian.

We Build…® Leaders.

JC&A is proud to support CoreNet Global and sponsor this year’s Eastern Regional Symposium (ERS) — the annual event bringing together the Eastern Chapters of CoreNet Global for two days of learning, innovation, and connection.

We’re especially proud that our own Maureen Rystrom, JC&A Partner & VP of Marketing, is serving on the ERS Executive Committee alongside an esteemed group of CoreNet leaders, including Sarah Abrams (Global Real Estate Leader, Retired), Rob Angilletta (UBS), Laura Patel (CBRE), Peter Van Emburgh (Cushman & Wakefield), Ken Zirk (CBRE), Chris Horblit (The TJX Companies, Inc.), Dan Fishbein (NYU SPS Schack), and David Kontra (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia).

We Build…® Safety First

At JC&A, safety isn’t something we recognize for just one week—it’s a commitment that drives every jobsite, every task, and every decision we make year-round. National Safety Week may have wrapped up, but our focus on building safe, respectful, and productive jobsites never stops.

Last week gave us the opportunity to reinforce that commitment through enhanced toolbox talks, team activities, raffles, and safety spotlights—recognizing the role each of us plays in protecting one another every day. As part of National Safety Week, our teams also joined thousands across the country in the National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction.

Led by OSHA, the Stand-Down highlights fall prevention—the leading cause of fatalities on jobsites—and encourages teams to pause, assess risks, and reinforce safe practices through jobsite discussions and toolbox talks.

Because at JC&A, We Build…® Safety First isn’t just a slogan—it’s our culture. It means looking out for one another, speaking up, staying prepared, and making sure everyone goes home safe, every single day. The photos from our recent Stand-Down BBQ reflect the teamwork, communication, and shared responsibility that keep safety at the core of everything we build.

We Build…® Communities

It all started 15 years ago from our Quincy office… How fitting that @GoTeamIMPACT made their first match ever on Mother’s Day in 2011. Since then, Team IMPACT has matched over 4,400 children with more than 850 colleges and universities in all 50 states, positively impacting more than 112,000 participating student athletes.

We are so proud to be founding partners of this amazing organization and its continued success.

Cheers to the next 15 years!

The JCAres team was excited to spend their Friday morning volunteering with the Animal Rescue League of Boston! The team had a chance to roll up our sleeves and pitch in with cleaning stalls and even got to spend some time playing with the adorable animals who are up for adoption.
