The program included office space, conference rooms, a new lobby and a call center with planned growth for anticipated expansion. The design of the space provides an open working environment with borrowed light through perimeter offices. The project is LEED CI Gold certified through the incorporation of new mechanical systems, new lighting, use of local materials, recycled materials and low VOC materials.
