Office of Science Awards Successful Project Management Teams

“The MDL is a flexible state-of-the-art science laboratory facility, housing a variety of highly specialized labs,” said Jurgis (George) Paliulionis, the MDL federal project director.

The four-story building contains radiological, vibration-sensitive, and wet chemistry laboratories. It also includes office and meeting space for 100 researchers and staff. 

The Chicago Building Congress recognized the MDL with its 2020 Merit Award in the “Commercial Construction Over $50M” category. The American Concrete Institute Illinois Chapter for Excellence in Concrete Construction also awarded the MDL in its “Mid-Rise Buildings” category.

Some of MDL’s sustainable design features include high-efficiency lighting, efficient heating and cooling systems, recycled materials, and electric vehicle charging stations. 

The project team completed the project on budget and 16 months ahead of schedule in December 2019.
