he Construction Association of Michigan (CAM) and the Greater Detroit Chapter of the
American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) held its 2016 Annual Safety Leadership
Conference in December 2016 at Laurel Manor in Livonia. This event provided an opportunity
for safety professionals, business owners, and other interested parties to participate in a forum with
educational, networking, and vendor relationship building opportunities in the field of safety. One
of the primary attractions of the conference was the Safety Leadership Panel Discussion that was
held with recognized leaders in industry to discuss the development and maintenance of safety

New Dennison Center
The white pine- and lake-dotted campus of Interlochen Center for the Arts, a nationally renowned fine arts academy and summer camp set in Michigans
North Woods, attracts blue-sky thinkers, prominent guest artists and a high caliber of students drawn to the visual arts, theater, music and the writers
craft. The latest facility constructed on this North Country campus - the Dennison Center for Recreation and Wellness is a welcome addition to the
growing portfolio of new structures built over the last 17 years. The late Lee W. Dennison, a 1970 Interlochen alumna and a dedicated trustee and friend,
bequeathed a gift from her estate to her beloved alma mater to be used exclusively for the construction of a fitness center. For Dennison, the health of
the body was as important as the life of the mind, both in creating a well-balanced life and in cultivating those sparks of genius responsible for making
beautiful music, brightening an empty canvas or filling a blank page.
Two firms - Cornerstone Architects and Spence Brothers - have brought Dennisons vision to life in the heart of this well-known arts education institution,
offering a 500-student high school, a 3,000-person summer camp and adult art programs and presentations. Cornerstone Architects, Traverse City,
designed not only the Dennison facility, but almost every new structure on the Interlochen campus since 1999, including the Herbert H. & Barbara C.
Dow Center for Visual Arts, The Writing House, the Bonisteel Library and the DeRoy Center for Film Studies, said Cornerstone Vice President John E.
Dancer, RA, AIA. Cornerstone used its design talents to give a contemporary twist to Interlochens traditional palette of natural materials; the end result
being a constellation of contemporary stone, wood and glass structures in harmony with the original campus.

Spence Brothers returned approximately $300,000 to the Owner in
Construction Management fees and General Conditions costs, along with the
unused contingency fund, due to the excellent management associated with
the build. This speaks volumes about Spence Brothers integrity in spending
every dollar as if it were their own.
Spence Brothers attributes this feat to close teamwork during the design
and pre-construction phase. According to Spence Brothers Vice President
and Northern Michigan Operations leader, Robert S. Spence III, The idea of
having money set aside for project contingency is insurance for unforeseen
challenges. The projects design and pre-construction phase is to be
applauded. During this critical development stage, Interlochen, Cornerstone
