A new 65,000-square-foot testing facility is now open in Elkhart, bringing several operations under one roof.

ICC Evaluation Services tests construction materials and vehicles, including RVs and ambulances, to see how they hold up under real-world conditions.

The facility replaces three separate labs in Goshen and Nappanee. Workers can now handle larger samples and run several tests at the same time.

The lab also brings engineers and technicians with different specialties together, making it easier to work on projects and share knowledge.
