Construction of a new 50,000 square foot state of the art lab/research facility including BSL-3 laboratories. Riddleberger partnered with the general contractor in a design/assist role on this project which was procured under Virginia’s PPEA Act. Both the mechanical budget and project schedule were maintained throughout. The design/assist process resulted in $500,000+ in savings. The success of the process and the quality of the final job has led to three additional fit-outs and additions to the initial project totaling more than $2,000,000. Each of these additional projects were also performed with Riddleberger in a design/assist role.
