Polymer Science 50K SF (2024 Award Winner)
Industrial / Manufacturing | 50,000 SF | 2024 Award of Excellence | 8-Month Timeline
Project
Overview
Steinberger Construction partnered with Polymer Science to complete a significant 50,000-square-foot expansion of their Monticello, Indiana facility. Designed and built to meet specialized operational requirements, this industrial/manufacturing project included two Butler pre-engineered building additions, each tailored for performance, durability, and operational efficiency.
The expansion was executed under a fast-track schedule, ensuring that Polymer Science’s growing operations could begin using the new space as quickly as possible. All work was completed while maintaining full compliance with FAA regulations, integrating a complex drainage system, and coordinating construction activities in a phased sequence to avoid operational disruption.

Performance
Delivering the expansion in just eight months required disciplined schedule management, close coordination with the client, and precision in every phase. Butler’s high-performance building systems were selected for their clear-span capabilities, efficiency, and long-term durability, allowing Steinberger to meet the client’s specialized needs without compromise.
The engineered drainage system was designed to manage stormwater effectively for the expanded footprint, safeguarding the facility’s long-term performance. Despite the project’s complexity and regulatory oversight, our team ensured every milestone was met, without impacting the client’s ongoing production.
Partnership
In Action
This award-winning project is a testament to SCI’s ability to deliver exceptional results in highly regulated, technically demanding environments. By aligning with Polymer Science’s vision, maintaining open communication, and applying our expertise in industrial construction, we delivered a facility that supports the client’s growth and operational excellence for years to come.
