EMJ, founded in 1968, has built over 500 million square feet of space and currently operates out of 5 locations nationwide. Currently, you can see “EMJ’s name as the builder of record on all types of projects including retail, distribution centers and warehouses, office buildings, lifestyle/mixed use development, hotels/multifamily, churches, education, entertainment/sports, medical, parking structures, renovations and wind energy.”

EMJ approached Level2D with the hope of breaking out of the rigid, monolithic style typically associated with construction industry websites. They presented Level2D the challenge of designing a web solution that used a creative, interactive, and usable approach to front our robust, Level2D system architecture. Today, we are excited to announce the launch of our culminated efforts in the form of the newly redesigned EMJ website.

We feel that the website gives new life to the iconic EMJ brand by giving a clear voice to their extensive project portfolio while at the same time remaining mindful of their unique mission and heritage.
