Description: Merieux NutriSciences is constructing an 8,200-square-foot addition and renovating 6,100 square feet at its Springfield laboratory. The project includes the addition of two safe rooms and three walk-in coolers and freezers. The company has more than 100 laboratories worldwide, according to the company website, and the local location focuses on microbiology and chemistry for the food industry.
A safe room and classroom addition at Willard Central Elementary School will be used by the music, arts and athletic programs for a district that had 4,536 students last year, according to Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education figures, but school officials say enrollment is projected to grow.
