Canton, MA – Hologic’s manufacturing and R&D expansion in Newark, Delaware has been recognized with a 2025 Project Achievement Award from the Construction Management Association of America New England Chapter (CMAA-NE).
Timberline Construction Corporation (Timberline), which led the project, accepted the award at the June 4 ceremony in Boston.
The 115,000-square-foot project involved a comprehensive interior fit-out and the ground-up construction of a new warehouse, all completed while Hologic’s critical operations—including labs, clean rooms, and manufacturing lines—remained fully operational. Timberline executed the project through detailed coordination, phased scheduling, and experience managing complex, fast-paced environments.
“Timberline delivered a complex project with precision and care, overcoming schedule constraints and construction challenges without disrupting our ongoing operations,” said Craig Bernier, Head of Global Real Estate and Facilities at Hologic. “The relocation of critical equipment, coupled with energy-efficient upgrades, has created a facility that supports both our growth and sustainability goals. We’re thrilled to see them recognized with this award—they’ve truly earned it.”
Since completion, the facility has shown significant long-term performance improvements, including a 38% reduction in electrical energy use despite an 11% increase in total space. These results were driven by upgraded mechanical systems and improvements to the building envelope.
“This project reflects the very best of our team’s commitment to quality, innovation, and partnership,” said Jason Emord, Vice President and Project Executive at Timberline. “Our dedicated in-house team, along with our design partners, Ci Design and Vanderweil Engineers, worked together to deliver a facility we are all proud of.”
The award highlights Timberline’s ongoing work in delivering complex projects for clients in healthcare, research, and innovation.
