“We were happy to support the leadership team at Cook County in transitioning the space to a COVID-19 vaccination site. Our Chicago Airport Testing was not fully utilizing the entire building footprint, so using our massive space to aid in the process of vaccinating folks to fight the spread of COVID-19 made complete sense,” Paul Galvin, Chairman and CEO of SG Blocks noted.
With approximately 200,00 square feet of indoor and outdoor testing space, the facility will soon be used by Cook County for a mass vaccination program to combat the spread of COVID-19. Chicago Airport Testing will transition to a new laboratory site, with further details coming soon. The Chicago program will also expand to include remote collection units. Clarity Mobile Ventures will be able to seed its operations from the proceeds in a non-dilutive fashion.
