The 27,771 SF project entails the complexities of demolition, retrofit of the existing plant, and construction of a new office building adjacent to the existing plant. Design emphasis is on employee comfort: the ceilings are 11’-0″ tall with all glass facades and all regularly occupied spaces are less than 30’-0″ from exterior glass. The facades are designed with automated shade devices with solar-tracking capability. An 8’-0″ wide covered, cantilevered balcony wraps the two glass facades providing additional shading, an additional employee amenity. First floor spaces adjacent to the plant have glass doors and windows to create a sense of unity between office and plant workers. Second floor conference rooms and all regularly occupied spaces on the plant side of the office building have clerestory glass for additional natural light. The significant use of daylight reduces the need for artificial lighting throughout the new office building. The project achieved LEED^® Silver certification.
