Overview
Gentex is renowned for its cutting-edge manufacturing of automotive mirrors, electronics, and dimmable glass products. Their commitment to innovation and quality naturally aligned with Lakewood’s values and passion, leading to a strong partnership.
The North Riley Campus (NRC 3) project expanded Gentex’s operations at their Zeeland, MI headquarters, adding over 360,000 square feet of space. This large-scale project features 10 miles of plumbing, 85 miles of electrical wiring, 5,795 gallons of paint, and 10,150 cubic yards of concrete. Additionally, over 190,000 pounds of steel reinforced the concrete floors, ensuring a sturdy foundation.
Valued at $90 million, the project was completed smoothly, thanks to the early establishment of clear communication between the client, Lakewood, and subcontractors. These strong collaborations not only facilitated the construction process but also built lasting relationships beyond the job site.
