​Fighting cancer one sip at a time.

Boo Brew is back and this year we are bringing the beer here for a backyard summer party.  The 7th AnnualScare Away Cancer Boo Brew is July 23rd from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the new MCL Construction Headquarters,14558 Portal Circle in La Vista.  The event is open to the public.

You can’t have a summer party without the classics.  This year, we will offer old-fashioned domestic beers in addition to local craft beer options.
“In the past, we have focused on beers from a local brewery.  This year we are mixing it up a lot with domestic choices as well as a wide variety of local breweries, we really will have something for everyone,” said Senior Vice President Tony Fucinaro.

Your donation will cover your evening of drinks and fun.  We suggest starting with a $25 donation.  All proceeds go to Scare Away Cancer.

Scare Away Cancer started in 2011 with a mission to be in everyone’s corner during their fight with cancer.  As a partner, we help collect and give money to patients and families to help make ends meet.  We also support programs that provide charitable care to patients to help improve their lives.  It all starts with something as simple as having a beer.

Scare Away Cancer is a 100% volunteer organization.  MCL is proud to have employees dedicated to our community who participate in several outreach opportunities year-round. Through our partnership, we strive to build hope, rebuild strength, and set the foundation for a cure.

Scare Away Cancer is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Omaha, Nebraska.  Questions and inquiries should be directed to info@scareawaycancer.org.  You can also donate at scareawaycancer.org

Scare Away Cancer and MCL Construction are committed to safety and will be taking extra steps to help maintain social distancing and health measures.  The outdoor event allows for extra space to help everyone enjoy the evening at a safe distance.
“We understand there may be some hesitation about attending an event with lots of people.  Boo Brew is outside and we have plenty of space to make sure you feel you can physical distance.  We want to make sure everyone feels safe and can have a good time,” added Fucinaro.

Come out and have a few for a good cause, there is nothing scary about it.

Methodist Women's Hospital Celebrates 10-Years

 
MCL Methodist Women's Hospital
Methodist Women's Hospital
MCL is honored to be part of family milestones at Methodist Health System’s Women’s Hospital. 

Methodist Women’s Hospital and Women's Hospital Medical Office Building, located at 190th and Dodge, celebrated ten years of their new facility last Sunday.  In those ten years, 46,849 babies were born, lives were saved, and women’s health was prioritized. 

MCL was selected to build this first-of-its-kind hospital in Nebraska. 

The 289,000 square foot hospital has 116 beds, private rooms, family space, decentralized patient check-in, decentralized nursing stations, and a 28-bed neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) that helps alleviate a shortage of NICU beds in our area.  

MCL also built the 154,000 square foot medical office building on the Women's Hospital campus.  This three-story structure features office suites, clinical rooms, and a healing garden that connects the medical office building with the hospital. 
Thanks to an incredible team effort and thorough planning, MCL completed the campus in 26 months and 3.2% under budget. 

This campus was an important building block for MCL.  In 2010, it was our largest project to date and demonstrated our ability to succeed on large, detailed projects.   

“It was one of the main foundations of having MCL grow to where we are today.  We proved to the construction community and owners that we are capable of something like that,” said Executive Vice President Gary Leapley. 

​This project set the foundation for the following: 
  • Creighton School of Dentistry 
  • The Lauritzen Outpatient Center 
  • The Cloisters on the Platte 
  • Munroe Meyer Institute 
If the walls could talk, stories of families welcoming a new life or rejoicing healed lives would be shared.  We are honored to have built the walls that hold these treasured moments.  Thank you, Methodist Health System, for allowing us to create a space for specialized care. 
 
Congratulations on ten years!

MCL Relocates and Preserves Omaha's Art History

 
Wyatt Hansen MCL ConstructionWyatt Hansen
The vision was clear:  the process required ingenuity, skill, and most importantly, respect. 

As the City of Omaha said goodbye to the Gene Leahy Mall and Heartland of America Park on February 28, 2019, MCL Construction was there to preserve the art that tells the stories of Omaha history and military service. 
 
Omaha Parks and Recreation chose MCL to remove and relocate seven art statues and monuments that sat on the riverfront parks, some for more than 40 years. 

At MCL, we are committed to performing at the highest level while always respecting those impacted by our work. 

In this case, the artists who created these monuments and those the monuments represent deserved great care and respect. 

“Just amazing care was taken to the best of our ability so that everybody would be happy,” said Omaha Parks and Recreation Project Manager, Tim Carmichael. 
 
Each structure had its own challenge.  Two needed to be removed from water, two required salvaging.

The Airborne Trooper and Victory ‘95 honor the valor and sacrifice of those who have served and currently serve our country.  

A brick plaza underneath the monuments was originally built with 17,000 bricks, 4,100 with the names of service members engraved on them.  For families and friends, these bricks are symbols of service and sacrifice. 

Led by MCL Superintendent Wyatt Hansen, our team began the process of relocating them to Memorial Park.  We noticed the deteriorated structure of the original bricks.  The names had faded, but not the memory of each person. 

Rather than relocating them in that condition, our team replaced each brick and placed them within five feet of their original location under the statue.  A time-consuming, detailed task that recreated the personal connection every donor had to the service member honored. 

“He wanted to give every bit of respect to the art and who the artwork was for,” said Carmichael.

Ben VanderWert Joins MCL Construction

 
Ben VanderWert Ben VanderWert
Ben VanderWert joins MCL Construction as the Director of Talent Acquisition.  Ben's primary focus is to identify and hire the best and brightest to join the MCL Construction family. 
 
"MCL has a long history in the community and has been growing at a great manageable rate," said VanderWert. "The relationships they have built with the community and organizations across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa are long-lasting.  My goal is to apply that approach to attracting and retaining great talent and for MCL to be seen as a premier employer in the community."
 
VanderWert spent several years recruiting in the technology and IT fields.  He understands what it takes to identify top talent in a competitive industry and how having the right employees help organizations grow and thrive long-term. 
 
"Having the right people that will make a positive impact on the organization and do right by the customers is vital in long-term success within any organization.  Finding the person to do the job is one thing.  Finding the person that can do the job and fit within the organization with the team and culturally is what we are looking for in the people we hire at MCL Construction," said VanderWert. 
 
MCL Construction has grown substantially in the past five years, approaching 200 employees. 
 
"We want to keep growing," added MCL Construction Senior Vice President Tony Fucinaro.  "Ben will play a significant role as we continue to expand our geographical footprint and provide our relationship-based building model to clients who are looking for a partner to solve their building problems."
 
MCL Construction recently moved into its new corporate headquarters located at 14558 Portal Circle in La Vista, Nebraska.  The building has made a big impression on VanderWert and he believes it will make his job a lot easier.
 
"Having a new and welcoming facility will undoubtedly help in attracting people.  In my opinion, it is all about the opportunity and culture of the organization.  But having a place to work where there is proper/enhanced technology, collaboration spaces, and an open environment will help in growth and retention."
