Keeping Expansions on the Move
Lonza Biologics is a subsidiary of Lonza Group AG, one of the world’s leading suppliers to the pharmaceutical, biotech and specialty ingredients markets. For more than 20 years, we have been providing site/civil engineering services to this manufacturer at its Portsmouth, NH campus.
Campus Growth
Lonza expanded its Portsmouth campus to support advanced biotechnology manufacturing across multiple sites within the Pease International Tradeport. We supported this growth with engineering and environmental services that addressed site constraints, infrastructure needs, and regulatory requirements.
Services included site and civil engineering for a major expansion that added a 300,000 SF unfinished building shell with associated parking, utilities, stormwater management, and off-site roadway improvements. Tighe & Bond also supported the interior manufacturing fit-out, including loading area expansion, sewer and electrical upgrades, and structural design for exterior equipment pads serving transformers, generators, and liquid nitrogen tanks.
Additional work advanced development of a vacant parcel planned for three new buildings and two parking garages. Site improvements included utilities, lighting, LID stormwater systems, and stream restoration. Geotechnical and environmental investigations informed foundation design, ground improvement strategies, and drainage considerations to support long-term campus performance. Our work at Lonza also included industrial wastewater infrastructure design.
