There will also be a renovation to the Scott Engineering Center to align with broader state-wide goals outlined in Blueprint Nebraska.

Today's Projects Positioning Lincoln for Sustainable Growth and Economic Vitality

Kulhanek said renovations and expansions account for the majority of projects keeping Schemmer busy right now. "Governmental work, whether it be at the state or federal level, constitutes most of the renovation market. Industrial work is dominating the new construction work."

Kulhanek noted Schemmer's large expansion project for Creekstone Farms Beef. The project includes renovations and additions to the existing industrial facility. "Engineering work includes adding a new 1500 BHP boiler and improvements to their hot water system."
