Bethesda, Maryland-based builder Clark Construction has completed the first phase of construction on an auto racing stalwart Andretti Global’s new $200 million headquarters in Fishers, Indiana, according to a Announcement of June 28 of the contractor.
Developed by Chicago-based Bradford Allen, the nearly 400,000-square-foot facility is part of a larger 90-acre campus, the release said, and is more than four times the size of Andretti’s current headquarters in Indianapolis. Crews worked 40,000 hours to place more than 3,000 tons of steel, 2,755 steel members, 4,000 cubic meters of footings and grade beam concrete.
By the end of July, the construction team will complete more than 9,000 cubic meters of flush slab and slab on metal roof concrete.
