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.

PREMIER Design + Build Group has completed work on Phase II of the Rickenbacker Logistics Park project in Columbus. OH. The completion adds more than two million square feet of industrial space for client CT Realty, or nearly twice as much as the project’s first phase.

“The Rickenbacker Logistics Park is nothing less than a best-in-class campus,” said Ryan Keefe, Premier’s EVP, Midwest. “It’s designed and built to deliver what today’s users need to thrive, and it’s located in a geographic region that’s seeing exponential growth. As we complete each phase, we see the enormous demand for these spaces that facilitate business success for users.”

The Premier team included program manager Samantha Skopek, project manager Dan Freitag and superintendent Thomas Sterbenz. The team recently began work on Phase III of the project, which will add a 773,000-square-foot building to the campus. When complete, Rickenbacker Logistics Park will total four million square feet across six buildings.
