?? Pfizer MAP Facility – Kalamazoo, MI We are proud to share the successful completion of Pfizer’s MAP Facility in Kalamazoo, a state-of-the-art 420,000-square-foot life sciences pharmaceutical manufacturing facility this year. This project represents our first-ever contract in Michigan and marks a significant step in our journey! ? Working alongside Gilbane Building Company, we helped bring this innovative facility to life. Designed for the installation of independent aseptic processing modules and future expansion, the space is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and collaboration. ? Our work consisted of 2 separate modules. Mod-1 (225,000 sq. ft.) includes BIM coordination, full electrical buildout (excluding process control and BAS), fire alarm and security systems, structured cabling with fiber backbone, and vendor cabling assistance. Mod-2 (225,000 sq. ft.) includes core electrical construction for the shell, fire alarm and security systems integrated with Mod-1, and a communication network established in a new IDF room. ? We’re thrilled to have played a role in building a facility that will drive advancements in the pharmaceutical industry! #ElectricalInnovation #BetterTogether #PoweringProgress

Our Gurtz team stepped in to help serve breakfast, reinforcing our commitment to supporting the growth and success of women in the trades. Walsh also provided a commemorative banner—symbolizing not just this week of recognition, but the ongoing progress of women in the industry. While this week shines a spotlight on women in construction, our appreciation extends far beyond. The impact of women in our field is growing every day, and we’re committed to fostering an environment where that momentum continues.
