2023 Ones to Watch Rising Stars: Mike Lauring, Lauring Construction

Mike Lauring
Project Manager
Lauring Construction

Number of years at firm: 13

One thing on my bucket list: Golfing at Pebble Beach.

When I am not working, I am: Hanging out with my wife and twin boys or golfing if I really have free time.

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? We have worked with Assumption University in Worcester for more than 40 years. One of our recent projects was a three-story 41,000 s/f health sciences building with an accompanying two-story parking garage. The project had a tight schedule, and the work was impacted by the early days of COVID. I was very pleased with how our company handled that adversity and delivered a great product to Assumption. Other projects include the 64,000 s/f Tsotsis Family Academic Center, the hub of academic life on campus, and the Tinsley Campus Ministry Center (an addition to the Chapel of the Holy Spirit).

What makes this nominee a RISING STAR? 
“Actively involved with the day-to-day operations of the company since 2010 and part of the third generation, Mike was recently named an owner in the company. Mike’s attention to detail, his ability to problem solve, and his dedication to his craft make him a valuable asset to Lauring Construction.” - Jim Lauring, Vice President at Lauring Construction
