MCL Construction completed the new Bayer CropScience Breeding and Trait Development Station in Beaver Crossing, Nebraska. This state-of-the-art facility will help Bayer CropScience deliver breakthrough wheat and soybean varieties with improved technologies and genetics. The company will also support wheat research and education programs at the University of Nebraska Lincoln and work with Nebraska farmers in seed production activities.
As the Construction Manager and General Contractor, MCL built the space to include new office space, research facilities, a greenhouse, and an equipment building. The project has a geothermal well system and constructed wetlands to process greenhouse and lab waste. The constructed wetlands are an engineered system that utilize natural processes to treat wastewater.
