ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) will be expanding building and plumbing testing services into a new, larger facility in Elkhart, Indiana in order to better serve their customers and employees.

The new facility will offer the following:

  • Larger, more efficient laboratory spaces
  • Improved comfort and amenities for staff
  • Work areas designed to support safety, productivity, and collaboration
  • A unified location that strengthens teamwork and streamlines operations
  • A comprehensive scope of Building Products, Automotive, and Plumbing testing 

"This move is an investment in our future growth, our ability to serve our clients, and — most importantly —our staff's daily work environment," said Tracie Stanush, vice president of testing services at ICC-ES.

The new facility will be a 65,000 square foot space fully equipped to perform large scale structural testing, bench top fire testing, fenestration, and more. The automotive testing department will also be able to offer a full-scale drive-in thermal chamber for more in-depth testing.

The current test labs in Nappanee and Goshen have already begun the process of relocation. Phase 1 of the move is expected to be completed in February 2026, with the new facility expected to be fully operational by July 2026.

ICC-ES will continue to be a full-service provider of testing, inspection, and building product certification.
