Research and Development and Parent Seed Facility
Cockram Projects, Inc
Shiel Sexton and joint venture partner Cockram Construction completed the Seed Research and Development facility in Puerto Rico on 1,600 acres.
The new site includes 16 buildings containing office spaces, seed labs, equipment storage, greenhouses, utilities, production buildings and several fields. Together the buildings cover more than 87,700 SF. Researchers onsite now have the ability to grow and test genetic modifications in the field. The site also processes established crops and processes and ships the seeds as well.
The new Salinas/Guayama research and production site is considered a ‘flagship’ corn and soybean breeding and parent seed facility that is designed to meet additional agricultural research needs with the increased capabilities.
