After more than three decades as the leader of the company he founded in 1973, John Cameron officially welcomed two new partners June 27 at Salt Lake City-based Cameron Construction – including his son Kevin Cameron, along with Dave Hill.
Kevin Cameron was named president and in charge of construction, while Hill becomes the secretary/treasurer and general manager. John Cameron remains company CEO.

Kevin Cameron has worked 22 years for his father’s company, while Hill has more than 20 years experience in construction. John Cameron said Kevin’s transition into the role of president is one that will be a long-term benefit to the company.
“We’re formally doing this so when I decide to retire, everything keeps going,” said the elder Cameron. “I’m staying on at least the next five years – I’m in no hurry to retire. I still like being involved in projects.”

Kevin Cameron knew Hill from when he was with Bud Bailey Construction, and having two more company leaders seemed like a sound idea.

“To a certain degree, it’s good to have a little diversity (with leadership),” said John Cameron. “They balance each other out to make sure you’re going down the right path and making good decisions.”

Cameron Construction is currently building the Temple Har Shalom, a Jewish synagogue in Park City, Utah that is slated for completion in November, and has four projects in the works along the Wasatch Front for Ken Garff Automotive Group, including a Nissan dealership in Salt Lake, a West Valley Dodge dealership, an auto body repair shop in Clearfield, and a Ford auto parts warehouse in American Fork.

Salt Lake City-based Spectrum Engineers, Inc. won several awards at the 2007 International Illumination Design Awards (IIDAs) for its interior lighting design expertise.

Awards were presented to Spectrum Engineers for interior lighting design at South Jordan Library, South Jordan, Utah; Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Sandy, Utah; St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, Hyde Park, Utah; St. James Catholic Church, Ogden, Utah; and St. John’s Episcopal Church, Logan, Utah. Regional IIDA Awards of Merit were also presented to Spectrum for South Jordan Library and Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church.

The recent awards continue a remarkable string for Spectrum’s principal lighting designer, Joseph M. ‘Jody’ Good. Since 1992, Good has garnered 46 IIDAs, the awards program sponsored by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA). Good has won IIDAs for interior and exterior lighting and has been presented with six regional IIDA Awards of Merit, including an IIDA Energy and Environmental Award of Merit. In 2006, Good was named Fellow of the IESNA, the first Utahn to receive such distinction.

Among many other awards and distinctions, Good in 2003, won the coveted GE Edison Award. Since 1983, GE Lighting has presented only one GE Edison Award each year following international competition.

Case, Lowe & Hart Relocates to New Office

Ogden-based architectural and engineering firm Case, Lowe & Hart, Inc. has relocated its offices to the Ogden City Center Building.  Company president Kevin Lewis felt after 16 years in the Wells Fargo Building and 28 years in the Kiesel Building that it was important to maintain a downtown Ogden presence. 

“Being in Ogden offers us the advantages of a cosmopolitan area but without the price tag, so our rates are very competitive,” said Lewis. “Additionally, none of our employees commute so they’re always close for family.”   

Case, Lowe & Hart, Inc. is a multi-disciplinary organization that employs architects, along with mechanical and electrical engineers. Incorporated in 1966, the company has won many awards in design excellence.  Specialties include food-product and industrial manufacturing facilities, process plants, distribution centers, government facilities and airports
