BE&K said the partnership involves managing a 鈥榤ulti-product facility鈥� adjacent to Novo Nordisk鈥檚 existing North Carolina operations. The new manufacturing campus is to be four-times the size of the original Clayton site.

Novo Nordisk confirmed the site will fill injection pens for popular treatments Wegovy and Ozempic.

The company said work will 鈥渆nhance鈥� the manufacturing capabilities by adding 1.4 million sq ft (130,064m²) to the footprint across 鈥渢en or more buildings鈥� including multi-building combinations.

A value for the contract was not released.

鈥淏E&K will directly perform a significant portion of the work as Construction Manager and will serve as the Agency Construction Manager for the remainder of the work, providing oversight for the development of the facility that will span approximately 56 acres [27 hectares],鈥� said the company.

Construction, which is already underway, is expected to finalise between 2027 and 2029.

鈥淏E&K has dedicated over two years of detailed preparation for this endeavour, providing estimates, schedules, and procurement strategies, and has begun construction,鈥� confirmed the company.
