Taking the prestigious Eagle Award in the $2-5 million category was Sweetwater performing phased renovations to create an Aseptic Corridor and equipment mezzanine for Genzyme Biosurgery in Ridgefield.

Not only were the construction elements varied and complex, but NJEDA, minority, prevailing wage, township planning, and LEED reporting demanded a high degree of oversight and administration. Professionals from 9 firms were assembled to secure township approval and design-build this impressive facility. Detailed monthly reports were compiled to Siemens Corporate Real Estate and the parent company in Germany.
