Size: 31,540 sq.ft.

Replacement of existing modular buildings with a new two-story 31,540 square foot building. Project phasing and operational considerations were primary issues in association with project development because existing offices and buildings remained operational throughout construction. This was a complicated process since the project site was located between operationally active buildings. LEED Gold Certification features include erosion and sediment control pre-requisites, site selection, stormwater management design, maximized daylighting, sloped and angled louvers to minimize glare and solar gain, energy-efficient exterior walls and roof with high R-value, direct/indirect evaporative cooling, hydronic heat, air handlers, boilers, and a wind generator to offset electrical consumption.
