Getting a complex renovation project from design to operation in one year is no simple task. But that’s what IMEG Corp.'s design and construction team was asked to accomplish for MedPharm, one of Iowa’s first medical marijuana manufacturing facilities.
IMEG provided mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP); fire protection; and technology/security design for the facility. The firm’s work with the project architects began as soon as MedPharm was granted a license by the state of Iowa in late November 2017, allowing them to manufacture three types of medical marijuana products to be sold at the state’s five licensed dispensaries. The license also required that the company have the products ready to dispense by Dec. 1, 2018 — giving the firm 12 months to complete the project.
