PREMIER Design + Build Group has completed the new headquarters for Heathrow Scientific, a global provider of laboratory supplies and instruments. The 113,000-square-foot facility in Vernon Hills, Ill., serves as the central hub for the company’s manufacturing, laboratory, and office operations.

Following the demolition of an existing structure, PREMIER constructed the two-story, mixed-use building that features a large laboratory space. The facility also includes 12 dock positions and two drive-in doors for logistics needs.

“This headquarters was designed to be more than just a workplace; it’s a space that fosters creativity, collaboration and growth,” said Joseph Ahrens, Senior Vice President/Midwest Market Leader at PREMIER. “We’re proud to have partnered with Heathrow Scientific to bring their vision to life.”

Heathrow Scientific has seen significant growth since its founding in 1996, with the company expanding its offering of just two products to a portfolio of over 900. Buffalo Grove-based PREMIER Design + Build Group is a full-service firm specializing in industrial, medical, commercial, multifamily and adaptive re-use projects.

The new facility is constructed on a 30-acre site and includes 100,000 square feet of refrigerated/ humidity-controlled cold storage, as well as an adjacent dry storage area accessible via high-speed roll-up doors. The building features 25 loading docks, 2 drive-in doors, a storm shelter, and 4,000 square feet of office space.
