Malvern’s IMC Construction will be the first ever recipient of La Salle University’s Lasallian Impact Award during the University’s 25th Annual Charter Dinner on March 25, at Normandy Farms in Blue Bell, according to a staff report from La Salle News.

President and CEO of IMC, Robert Cottone, will receive the award, which honors organizations with core values similar to those of the University. IMC Construction is the fifth largest construction manager in the Philadelphia area, as well as the seventh largest in Pennsylvania.

Cottone, who came to IMC after decades of running his own company, has brought IMC’s construction volume to over $300 million annually. Since his arrival, Cottone has founded and is the Director of the IMC Charitable Foundation, which works to support educational, humanitarian, and non-profit institutions.

“I am very delighted to have Robert accept this award on his company’s behalf,” commented La Salle University President Colleen M. Hanycz.

“Not only is IMC a leader in its industry, they are committed to the common good and the dignity of others through sustained community service and civic engagement, much like La Salle is.”
