Sam Sayyah, one of MAI Construction’s most talented engineers, served as the project manager. He was in charge of monitoring and tracking every aspect of the Novo Nordisk project, coordinating communication and providing an interface between design, architectural, construction and Novo Nordisk personnel.

“Under Sam’s management and oversight, the first phases involved the construction of cGMP Grade B manufacturing labs. This included adding a material lift and a new canopy for the shipping and receiving area,” a company spokesperson noted, adding that the quality control lab, locker rooms, CNC corridors, and two cGMP laboratories were given new finish work.

In addition, a new break area and open-office collaborative spaces were also created. The office rooms were refinished and the stair-opening concrete deck was widened and expanded to better facilitate equipment delivery to the lab spaces on the second floor.

MAI Construction is proud to add another successful build to their resume of cutting-edge scientific facilities.

“We are eager to see what new advances and breakthroughs will come from the renovated facility and proud to have played a role in making this crucial work possible.”
