You’re not just here to do the job.” UNIVERSITY OF FINDLAY Charles Construction Services is particular- ly proud of their most recent project – the University of Findlay Science wing addition, one of their recent LEED-certified works. The Owens Community College building, with the rolled sealing, was another flagship job for them because it is located in the com- pany’s hometown. “I’m pretty proud of that one because I was the superintendent on it. I’m a little bit biased,” Hartzell says. Another project the company is proud to showcase is the Ohio State University, whose signature “O” is recognized as a local landmark. “Everybody recognizes that O, no matter where they are,” says Hartzell. It is these types of projects that have landed Charles Construction Services nu- merous prestigious awards over the years. The industry recognition holds significant value for the company because people want to “associate with a winner,” Hartzell says.
