Gorski Engineering Inc. of Collegeville, Northfield’s developer, provided planning, design, construction and building service solutions to Quaker Safety. Northfield Business Campus is a 118 acre development. There is a 50 acre tract fronting on East Pumping Station Road and 68 acres of open space that preserves significant woodlands and provides riparian buffers. Jerry Gorski noted, ”The development can house up to 400,000 square feet of building on the 50 acre tract, creating an opportunity for over 600 jobs”.

Nick Adams of Jackson Cross Partners represented Quaker Safety in their search for a new facility to help expand with their growing company. “The supply constrained market of quality manufacturing buildings led us to search the build-to-suit market,” said Nick Adams of Jackson Cross Partners. “Gorski Engineering was able to design a new facility tailored to meet Quaker Safety’s requirements and remain within the budget. The new 28,000 SF facility will allow for Quaker Safety’s future growth.”
