CHOATE BEGINS CONSTRUCTION OF ARIZONA CHEMICAL SCIENCE AND TECH BUILDING

SAVANNAH, GA. — Choate Construction Co. has started work on a science and technology expansion for Arizona Chemical's Savannah campus. The single-story building, with an elevated mechanical penthouse area, will total 23,269 square feet. Unlike conventional laboratories, the space will bring the outdoors inside with panoramic windows and nature-hued finishes. Adjacent to the research laboratory space will be a lab support area that will include an oven room, freezer room, humidity room and storage. The Savannah Science & Technology Center currently employs 51 chemists. Jones Lang LaSalle is the project manager and Perkins + Will is designing the project, which is slated for completion in December.
