Rivian EV Manufacturing Plant
The project is being delivered by CJ Adventures, a joint venture between Clayco and JE Dunn, bringing together the expertise and resources of two leading builders.
Rivian’s new 1,800-acre manufacturing campus at Stanton Springs, Georgia, represents a significant investment in the future of American electric vehicle production and advanced manufacturing. The eco-conscious facility is slated to be operational by 2028 and is expected to create approximately 7,500 employment opportunities, demonstrating Rivian’s commitment to both the local and national economies.
CJ Adventures, a joint venture between Clayco and JE Dunn, brings together the advanced manufacturing expertise to support Rivian’s vision for the campus. Rivian’s innovative approach to the automotive industry aligns perfectly with CJ Adventures’ ethos of embracing groundbreaking ideas and solutions. We envision this endeavor as the beginning of a long and mutually beneficial partnership where our collective strengths will drive success.
Designed with sustainability, innovation, and long-term growth in mind, the facility will include specialized manufacturing and support spaces for stamping, body operations, paint, general assembly, battery and drive unit production, a central utility plant, wastewater treatment, offices, a main entry building, and additional supporting infrastructure.
Delivering a project of this scale requires close collaboration across the entire team. CJ Adventures is working alongside Rivian and its project partners to coordinate the complex infrastructure, manufacturing environments, and building systems necessary to bring the campus to life.
AEI is serving as engineer of record, with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) as design architect. CJ Adventures and LJC are also delivering the Paint Shop and Civil scopes through a design-build approach.
Rivian, a leader in the American EV industry, demonstrates a dedicated focus on advancing breakthrough innovations in transportation, not only through its vehicles but also in the construction and operations of the plant.
Groundbreaking
CJ Adventures and Rivian were proud to break ground on this expansive manufacturing project outside Social Circle, Georgia. Rivian’s new Georgia facility will support its global expansion and provide the scale to provide millions with its state-of-the-art electric vehicles.
Beyond These Walls
Clayco, Rivian and CCDI all hosted booths at a local career fair. Four high schools sent juniors and seniors to explore the career opportunities. The Rivian team represented outside and brought a couple of their newer models. Clayco had a VR demo inside and CCDI was one booth over. All of us attending promoted each other and supported the local youth learning about manufacturing and construction careers.
