ARMSTRONG, IA / ACCESS Newswire / May 14, 2026 / Art's-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. (Nasdaq:ARTW) (the "Company"), a diversified manufacturer and distributor of equipment serving agricultural and research needs announced its wholly owned subsidiary, Art's Way Scientific, was recognized at the 2026 World of Modular Awards of Distinction. The awards were hosted by the Modular Building Institute, highlighting excellence and innovation in modular construction projects around the world.
Art's Way Scientific's longtime President and Director of Sales, Dan Palmer, was honored with a Career Services Award during the World of Modular conference.
Palmer has been with Art's Way Scientific for 20 years and has played an instrumental role in the company's most notable modular research building projects throughout his career. His leadership, customer relationships, and commitment to advancing modular research facilities have helped establish Art's Way Scientific as a recognized leader in modular research environments.
Art's Way Scientific submitted two projects for consideration in this year's awards program.
The company earned Alternate (Second Place) honors in the Healthcare - Permanent category for its MD Anderson Cancer Research Center modular vivarium project in Houston, Texas. First place in the category was awarded to Lakeshore General Hospital in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada.
The MD Anderson project is a custom-designed, two-story modular rodent complex supporting critical cancer research initiatives. The 8,855-square-foot facility was engineered with sophisticated environmental controls, HEPA-filtered air handling systems, and specialized research environments to support animal welfare and long-term research operations.
Art's Way Scientific also submitted its UT Christiansburg project for consideration in this year's competition.
"Our innovative facilities are built on function and performance and often times lack the architectural beauty present in other submissions in this category, so we are very pleased to be in the running," said Mark Tschirgi, General Manager of Art's Way Scientific.
As Art's Way Scientific continues to grow, the company remains focused on expanding its portfolio of advanced modular laboratories, vivaria, research facilities, and more. With several new projects and opportunities on the horizon, Art's Way Scientific is committed to delivering innovative modular solutions that support the evolving needs of scientific research, healthcare, and higher education institutions.
