Miron Construction project recognized by The Daily Reporter as 2025 Top Projects in Wisconsin
The Daily Reporter, a statewide construction newspaper, recently honored outstanding Wisconsin construction projects on its annual Top Projects in Wisconsin list. This year, one of Miron Construction Co., Inc.’s projects has been recognized: Missionaries of the Word New Convent.
Awards will be presented at the annual Top Projects event in early May. The event recognizes outstanding achievements by Wisconsin builders, owners, engineers, architects, and more.
Below is additional information about Missionaries of the Word New Convent.
Located on an 80-acre parcel of land in Door County, the new 28,954 square-foot motherhouse named Gloria Dei is home to the Missionaries of the Word, a community of Catholic Sisters in the Green Bay Diocese whose mission is to evangelize and assist with youth retreats. The main dwelling in the convent will eventually house approximately 30 Sisters and includes a detached two-car garage, a chapel, library, refectory, kitchen, laundry, guest apartment, classrooms, offices, multi-purpose room, sleeping rooms for up to 30, and restrooms. Outside there is a prayer garden with a grotto as well as a private secured area for outdoor activities and a large cross with a bench where the Sisters can go for reflection and prayer.
A variety of technical factors gave this project a certain degree of difficulty, including intricate ceilings in the chapel with multiple angles not typical of most structures and the construction of double-barrel domes above the chapel windows. A challenge that had the team bending, readjusting the layout, and recalibrating the domes multiple times to meet the standard of design.
