Architectural Excellence : Shaw Constructors won an award for a high profile client that needed a plant from the ground up, on a site more than sixty miles away from their corporate office. Shaw quickly needed an office space that would not only enable them to visually monitor ongoing project work but would also be an aesthetically pleasing space for meetings with the current customer as a well as potential clients. They required cost effective unique design features to include color matches to their logo and a specially designed conference room that would allow 180º viewing of the entire project site in the rear of the building.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : The features incorporated for aesthetics also contribute to cost effectiveness and energy efficiency. This would include the use of skylights to allow for the use of natural light. The electronic lighting controls permits pre-determined settings for daily use. An energy efficient HVAC system was installed.

This project was completed in three months which enabled Shaw to stay on schedule and budget.
