Benson Hill Ingredients, LLC.’s new facility will be included in the 39 North ag-tech innovation district, which is a 600-acre district surrounding the Danforth Plant Science Center, BRDG Park, Helix Incubator, Yield Lab and Bayer

Benson Hill will occupy the majority of the $52 million dollar, 160,000-square-foot facility on the campus of the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in Creve Coeur, Missouri.

The building will feature flexible research laboratories, shared workspaces, and additional open common elements such as lounges, fitness, yoga and break space designed to encourage collaborative engagement and to improve the quality of the work environment beyond the laboratory bench. The architectural, structural and MEP systems have been designed to support laboratory and research environments in an effort to attract lab / research tenants.

This project utilized the full design-build and self-perform concrete resources of Clayco, Lamar Johnson Collaborative and Concrete Strategies. The 4-story tilt-up design includes curtainwall and additional exterior architectural features.

The new facility will accommodate Benson Hill’s tremendous growth as they expand product development capacity and ramp up commercialization efforts to improve food and ingredients on a global scale.

Construction began in June and with completion slated for Spring 2020.
