Higley served as Construction Manager at Risk for the new office headquarters for Great Lakes Cheese Company. The new facility is on the site of their current Super Plant in Hiram, OH. The 55,000 SF building is designed by Vocon and completed February 2021.
Project Achievements
- The site of the HQ project includes a 70,000 SF cut of existing fill that was placed over the years during development of the business park. Most of the fill was utilized for landscape berms to avoid exporting.
- Our scope Included providing all technology, security, and audio/video systems as Design-Build.
- Subsequent to the project Higley served as Construction Manager for the $4 million renovation of existing administrative and plant amenity spaces to provide a new corporate fitness and wellness center, locker rooms, a break room, a training room, and office improvements at the existing plant. The project completed December 2021.
- Great Lakes Cheese constructed a 300,000 SF expansion to their existing packaging plant at the same time as the Headquarters construction. The project required additional coordination to ensure the two projects did not interfere with the progress of each other. Higley’s scope of work included performing landscaping and other site improvements around the plant expansion to create a unified campus feel.
