JE Dunn Construction Vice President Pat Arrington has received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from Auburn University’s McWhorter School of Building Science. This award honors his exceptional career and contributions to the construction industry. The award was presented earlier this month at Auburn University.
A 1985 graduate of Auburn’s Building Science program, Arrington has built a distinguished career spanning four decades. Since joining JE Dunn, he has championed the firm’s values through his commitment to integrity, teamwork, and mentorship. His work has influenced some of the region’s most notable projects with clients such as Emory University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, Ron Clark Academy, University of Georgia, and Georgia Power. His leadership and guidance have helped shape the next generation of construction professionals. Arrington remains passionate about developing young talent and ensuring that each project strengthens both the client relationship and the community it serves.
“I couldn’t have received this award without the unwavering support from everyone at JE Dunn who has enabled me to become the person I am today,” said Arrington. “Auburn instilled in me a deep respect for the craft of building, but JE Dunn has given me the platform to lead, grow, and give back.”
At Auburn, Arrington was a standout student-athlete, lettering in football from 1981 to 1983 as an offensive lineman (#76). He earned First Team All-SEC and Second Team All-American honors in 1983 and remains an active member of the Auburn Football Lettermen Club. He is also a Darlington School alumnus and Rome-Floyd Sports Hall of Fame inductee, recognized for his accomplishments in football and track and field.
“Pat’s career is a testament to what it means to be a builder in every sense of the word,” said Dan Kauffman, East Region President at JE Dunn. “He’s built projects that transform skylines, relationships that strengthen communities, and a culture that inspires excellence. We are proud to see Auburn recognize what we at JE Dunn have long known: Pat is one of the best in our industry.”
