Pro Con Inc. expanding Cobham Sensor Systems manufacturing facility

Cobham Sensor Systems and Microwave Components is expanding its Continental Microwave & Tool manufacturing facility at 11 Continental Dr. Pro Con Inc is the architect and construction manager for the expansion project, which will add 105,000 s/f to the company's existing 80,000 s/f manufacturing facility. The new 2-story addition will consist of 70,000 s/f of light manufacturing space on the first floor and 35,000 s/f of office and conference room space on the second floor. The manufacturing space will have a 20 foot height clearance to accommodate specialized equipment. First floor ribbon windows will bring light into the manufacturing area, and second floor clerestory windows and a cantilevered curtain wall will allow natural light into the office space. As part of the building expansion, Pro Con has designed a new main entrance which includes a lobby, reception area and passenger elevator. The expansion is incorporating environmentally beneficial strategies including the installation of energy efficient, low-e glass windows and low-flow fixtures and the building is expected to exceed energy code requirements for energy efficiency. Pro Con Inc began the project in December 2011 and has scheduled a September completion date.
