The company has operated at the site since purchasing the former Armour Pharmaceutical Co. plant in 2004, according to multiple media outlets. CSL is developing a new 330,000-square-foot facility at the site that will generate 300 permanent jobs and 800 construction jobs, in addition to the 1,200 existing positions at the plant. The new investment builds on the $3 billion that CSL has invested in the United States since 2018, which has created more than 6,500 American jobs. “Illinois is leading the way in life sciences manufacturing, and CSL’s $1.5 billion investment is a powerful vote of confidence in our state,” said Illinois Gov.

But with measured, deliberate upfront planning and collaboration between architects, engineers and general contractors, some of that risk can be mitigated.

To keep these critical developments on time and on budget, these project partners have had to not only adjust some of their traditional forms of value engineering (VE) — the term given to the collective effort of cost minimization and utility maximization over the course of a project — but also embrace completely new ones.
