Projects  /  Parachute Plasma Lab
National project

From an old restaurant to a working plasma lab, ground up.

A full teardown and ground-up build of a 6,000+ SF plasma donation facility, self-managed from teardown to opening.

Delivered by Spire's principals, Bill Breunig and Gary Kerber, before founding Spire in 2025.

The project

A specialized facility, built from the dirt up.

The site came with a problem most builders would rather not take on: an aging former restaurant sitting exactly where a modern medical facility needed to go. Our team handled the whole arc, taking down the existing structure, re-engineering the site, and delivering a clean, code-compliant plasma lab ready to open.

A biomedical facility raises the bar at every step: durable, sanitary finishes, medical-grade mechanical and electrical systems, and a layout built around a precise clinical workflow. Our team self-managed the job from teardown to opening to keep quality and schedule under control.

How it came together.

01 · The teardown

Clearing the way

Before anything new could go up, the old restaurant had to come down. Our team demolished the structure, hauled it off, and stripped the site back to raw ground, a clean slate to build on.

02 · Site and foundation

New infrastructure underground

With the lot cleared, we re-graded the site and ran all-new underground utilities, then formed and poured the foundation and slab, the base every system above would tie into.

03 · Structure

Steel goes vertical

Structural steel and trusses went up fast, defining the footprint and roofline of the new building. Within weeks the shape of the facility was standing against the sky.

04 · Envelope and roof

Dried in and weather-tight

Sheathing, weather barrier, exterior panels and a white TPO roof sealed the building from the elements, protecting the work inside and setting up the interior trades.

05 · Systems and interior

Where a lab gets its precision

Inside, the build got technical: medical-grade mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough-ins, interior framing, and the clinical layout that makes a plasma facility work, coordinated trade by trade.

06 · The finish

Doors open

Finishes, casework, branding, paving and a polished exterior brought it home. The facility was handed over complete and ready to operate.
