The St. Joan of Arc Chapel renovation project has been recognized with an Illuminating Engineering Society Illumination Award of Merit for Interior Lighting Design completed by the Ring & DuChateau lighting team. The team partnered with The Kubala Washatko Architects (TKWA) to realize the unique and historically significant project. The chapel was originally constructed in France around 1420. When it fell into disrepair 400 years later its ruins were moved and reconstructed on an estate in New York, then removed and reconstructed on the Marquette University campus in 1965. The chapel renovation project was recognized previously with a Faith and Form Award presented by the Partners for Sacred Places organization. Our lighting team is proud to have contributed its time and talent to the project and the Marquette University campus experience!

Ring & DuChateau has again been named a Top Workplace for 2024 in the small company category! We’ve received the honor each year we’ve participated since 2014 for a total of nine years recognized. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Top Workplace list is compiled based entirely on the results of employee survey feedback. Employers are measured on qualities such as company leadership, career opportunities, workplace flexibility, compensation, benefits, and the impact company policies have on innovation and morale. Employers only receive the Top Workplace recognition when their employee benchmark exceeds national benchmarks. This year survey responses were from more than 61,000 Milwaukee area employees including all categories. We appreciate our employees and value their participation!
