Scope Of Work
The Kerry Innovation and Technical Center is a 260,000 SF facility built on a 124-acre parcel in Beloit, Wisconsin. The corporate headquarters consolidated their current Midwest operations into a single location for more than 660 employees. The campus for this worldwide food production was broken up into four building block elements which contain office space, a customer building, lab space, fitness center, culinary theatre, a data center, a warehouse and pilot plant.
The campus boasts customer application suites, research and development labs, culinary facilities, sensory services and a vast commercialization center dedicated to customer production commercialization. The heart of the buildings consist of floor-to-ceiling windows and suites, which allow customers to view and test products in a natural environment.
Sustainability was also a large component of this four-building campus. The campus was designed to ENERGY STAR standards and achieved LEED-NC Gold certification. The team also partnered with Wisconsin’s Focus on Energy, which granted Kerry $198,000 in financial incentives – the largest of its kind in Wisconsin.
