Northborough, MA— Recently, a fullbuilding renovation has transformed a former clean room environment into an advanced manufacturing and warehouse facility for Solmetex, a supplier of water quality and safety products for the dental industry. Timberline Construction Corporation served as construction manager, with Studio Troika and Bala Consulting Engineers as design and engineering partners. The project was completed in spring 2026.

The 58,000sf project began with demolition of the existing clean rooms, an equipment mezzanine, extensive MEP systems, and underground utilities. Once the space was cleared, the team managed construction of new warehouse and manufacturing areas, offices, training rooms, break rooms, restrooms, and dedicated mechanical and electrical spaces.

Infrastructure upgrades included new air handling units, rooftop mechanical equipment, process piping, and electrical systems to meet the facility’ s operational requirements.

Throughout the project, the team navigated evolving owner requirements and lead-time challenges for critical building systems and materials.

“ This project is a great example of the kind of complex manufacturing work our team thrives on,” said Jason Emord, partner and executive vice president at
