Construction is under way at Vatterott College's new $15 million facility in NorthPark. The building is the first to occupy the 550-acre NorthPark development in North St. Louis County that is planned to include nearly 5 million square feet of office, commercial retail and industrial space by 2020.

Vatterott announced earlier this month that it planned to move to NorthPark.

Paric Corp. is the general contractor on Vatterott College's 90,000-square-foot two-story building that replaces a campus in St. Ann. The NorthPark building will house Vatterott College's national headquarters and trades programs, including HVAC, welding, plumbing and electrical, IT/computing and allied health.

Construction is scheduled to be completed by October 2007. NorthPark is located just east of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and is located in Berkeley, Kinloch and Ferguson.

O'Fallon, Mo.-based Paric Corp. is one of the largest privately held companies in St. Louis with 2004 revenue of $221.7 million.
