Larry R. Lane B.S.M.E.

Larry Lane leads the design, engineering, engineering systems, and construction efforts for the largest pharmaceutical/biotech investment in the history of North Carolina. As Project Director of Construction & Engineering for the Novo Nordisk Fill-Finish Expansion project in Clayton, NC, he and his team are responsible for translating Novo Nordisk’s ambitious Sustainability and Circular for Zero goals into the design, specification, construction, and, ultimately, the operation of this new facility. Environmental challenges have never been more critical or more urgent than they are today. That’s why Novo Nordisk is committed to net zero emissions across our entire value chain by 2045 at the latest. To achieve that goal and be at the forefront of change, Novo Nordisk has taken a bold, broad, company-wide approach to solving environmental issues – with the ultimate aspiration to have zero environmental impact. The design of the new 1,600,000 sf facility has been executed from the ground up to incorporate ambitious sustainable designs including on-site solar, rainwater harvesting, water capture and reuse systems, high efficiency HVAC design, design for disassembly, among others.
