Empire Const. awarded contract to expand Rochester Clinical space

Rochester, NY Empire Commercial Construction was awarded the construction contract for the expansion and build-out of Rochester Clinical Research. Empire teamed with Rochester-based Getsloff Design Group for design and construction of the 15,000 s/f space located on the second floor above their existing 10,000 s/f suite in the lower level of the Laurelton Building located at 500 Helendale Rd. Construction work is underway, with a successful completion and delivery expected by late December.

“Empire is excited to establish a relationship with Rochester Clinical Research, as they more than double their impressive footprint on Helendale Road,” said Empire president, Jayne Penepent. “At a time when the worldwide pandemic has been an extended shadow on our community, RCR has been the shining light behind the scenes, advancing medicine through the use of vaccine clinical trials in our own backyard.”

A leader in COVID-19 vaccine development locally, Rochester Clinical Research also conducts a multitude of studies for lyme disease, RSV, flu, migraine relief, smoking cessation, weight loss, CMV and a variety of pediatric studies.

Growing more than 100% over the past 18 months, the additional staff will allow for even more medical advancements to take place.
