On Friday, PROCON hosted a subcontractor appreciation lunch for our field team at the Dartmouth Russo Hall jobsite in Hanover. With a targeted completion of mid-summer 2026, our field team has been working diligently, through all weather, 7 days a week, to keep the project on track. By this time next year, the 5-story Russo Hall will be home to 285 Dartmouth students. We are truly grateful to our dedicated subcontractors and suppliers, whose diligence and craftsmanship make it possible for us to deliver with excellence. Thank you for all that you do!

When our employees are asked what they love most about PROCON, the answer is always the same: “It’s the people.” At PROCON, we take pride in creating opportunities outside of work to bring coworkers together to celebrate shared hobbies and enjoy a day of fun. One of our more exciting traditions we'd introduced over the past few years is the PROCON Golf Classic, held in the early fall for staff and their families. This year’s event took place at The Oaks in Somersworth, where the day could not have been more perfect. Clear skies, warm sunshine, and ideal course conditions set the stage for a spirited and competitive round of golf. Once the final hole was played, everyone came together for a casual lunch to connect and unwind and celebrate this year's tournament winners.
