In less than a year, Peckham completely renovated a 60,000 square foot facility in Lansing.
“This is an indicator of what the state of Michigan needs to do,” says Peckham CEO Mitchell Tomlinson about the revamping of a manufacturing facility to a high tech facility.
The facility houses a large part of Peckham’s business services operations, including National Passport Information Center (NPIC) services. Peckham is the primary contractor for the Department of State’s NPIC and is carrying out its first year of a five-year contract with for NPIC services.
Like Peckham’s headquarters, the NPIC facility is high tech and energy efficient.
“We’re pursuing LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for commercial interiors,” says Matthew June, Peckham’s director of business services.
The renovation cost $6 million, with $3 million spent on infrastructure and the rest used for telecommunications upgrades. Approximately 340 employees work at the facility and 305 are working on the passport contract.
“I have about 80 seats that need filling for business development,” says June.
The facility is located at 2511 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
