Walbridge provided general contracting services for the expansion of Syngenta’s corn and soybean research and development (R&D) facility. At completion, the Clinton facility became Syngenta’s largest corn and soybean trialing site in North America.
The location includes 90 acres of nursery for corn and 60 acres of nursery for soybeans. The facility expansion included tripling the size of soybean growth rooms, construction of grain and seed cold storage, and a new equipment maintenance shop and machinery storage building.
There are eight growth rooms with an independent temperature, humidity, lighting and irrigation control system.
