Frank Jonna Inducted into the Michigan Construction Hall of Fame

To provide further recognition of recipients of the Distinguished Constructor Award, Ferris State University has created a Michigan Construction Hall of Fame to serve as a permanent place for students, staff, and visitors to appreciate the achievements of leaders of the construction industry in Michigan.

The Distinguished Constructor Award is established to formally recognize the significant achievements made by individuals to the Michigan construction industry. Selection of a Distinguished Constructor is based on the nominee’s contribution over time to the Michigan construction industry. It is not, as with most annual industry awards, a competition based on the best achievements over a single project or year, nor within specific categories.

The Distinguished Constructor is someone who has left a significant mark on the industry and community because of consistent service and achievement. Based on qualitative rather than quantitative means, the Distinguished Constructor Award Panel identifies nominees who have provided major contributions to the industry or community based on the nominee’s involvement as a constructor.

Membership in the Michigan Construction Hall of Fame is reserved for those individuals who have distinguished themselves at the highest level. Frank Jonna of Jonna Construction Company was inducted in October of 2022.
