We are pleased to announce that Devon Industrial Group has been awarded a contract by University of Michigan to build a new four-story facility for its Ford Motor Company Robotics Lab. The delivery method is GC/Lump Sum with a contract amount that is approximately $50.4 Million.

This new four-story state-of-the-art facility is approximately 140,000 gross-square-feet and will house research and testing laboratories, associated support functions, offices and classroom space.
