Empire Completing Build-out of 15,000 Square Feet on Second Floor

Rochester, NY August 17, 2021 – Empire Commercial Construction was awarded the construction contract for the expansion and build-out of Rochester Clinical Research. Empire teamed with Rochester-based Getsloff Design Group for design and construction of the 15,000 square foot space located on the second floor above their existing 10,000 square foot suite in the lower level of the Laurelton Building located at 500 Helendale Road in Rochester, NY. Construction work is underway, with a successful completion and delivery expected by late December.

“Empire is excited to establish a relationship with Rochester Clinical Research, as they more than double their impressive footprint on Helendale Road,” said Empire President, Jayne Penepent. “At a time when the worldwide pandemic has been an extended shadow on our community, RCR has been the shining light behind the scenes, advancing medicine through the use of vaccine clinical trials in our own backyard.”

A leader in COVID-19 vaccine development locally, RCR also conducts a multitude of studies for Lyme disease, RSV, Flu, migraine relief, smoking cessation, weight loss, CMV and a variety of pediatric studies.
