Andretti Global and Chicago-based developer Bradford Allen joined
Clark Construction Group and their building crews on Thursday, June
27 to celebrate the topping out of Andretti Global’s new
headquarters facility.
The nearly 400,000-square-foot facility is part of a larger
90-acre campus, and more than quadruples the size of Andretti’s
current headquarters.
“We are so proud of the progress that has been made on our
future home and we are honored to be a part of today’s topping out
ceremonies,” said Michael Andretti, Chairman & CEO, Andretti
Global. “It is no small feat to get to this point with a project of
this magnitude and we could not have done it without our partners
at Bradford Allen, Clark Construction, RATIO and Ridge. It’s been
such a rewarding experience watching our new facility being built
from the ground up and today is a true testament to the hard work
and effort that’s been put into turning our vision into a
reality.”
Crews set the last piece of steel atop the new racing and
technology headquarters, marking a big step forward in the
development of Andretti Global’s future base of operations. In a
ceremony held on site, Andretti Global, Bradford Allen, and Clark
representatives recognized the contributors involved in the
project’s efforts thus far. To reach this milestone, crews
worked 40,000 hours to place over 3,000 tons of steel, 2,755
steel members, 4,000 cubic yards of footings and grade beam
concrete, and will complete over 9,000 cubic yards of slab on grade
and slab on metal deck concrete by the end of July.
“This milestone would not be possible without the strong
partnership between Andretti Global, Bradford Allen, Clark and the
talented design and trade partners on this project,” said Dave
Trolian, Northern Group CEO with Clark Construction. “The
contributions to drive this project forward on schedule, while
keeping safety and quality top-of-mind, is evident in the
craftsmanship and progress of a facility that will be an impetus in
the global racing community.”
In addition to housing day-to-day operations for the racing
team, the building will be home to the advanced research and
development of Andretti Technologies. The collaborative campus will
also feature modern technologies and amenities that not only create
a true employee-first culture, but also prioritize partners and the
surrounding community.
“The topping-off of the new Andretti Global headquarters brings
us one step closer to delivering this highly anticipated project to
the Fishers community and motorsports fans everywhere,” said
Jeffrey Bernstein, co-founder of Bradford Allen. “At a
time when others are waiting on the sidelines, this team has gotten
a world-class facility off the ground—one that prioritizes health,
wellness and sustainability for the benefit of both employees and
visitors.”
The structure focuses on cutting-edge design and race shop
programming, expanding on existing goals for technologically
advanced, sustainable practices. The final facility is set to
include a state-of-the-art fitness center, walking trails with
access to the Nickel Plate Trail and Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve,
amphitheaters, employee gathering areas and expanded dining
options. The development continues through a strategic phased
approach.
The design was planned by UK based motorsport design consultants
Ridge and Partners, and Indianapolis based international design
firm RATIO. Clark Construction is the general contractor.
