Weston Solutions Inc. has relocated its regional operations to Concord, N.H., after revitalizing a former industrial property into a new “green” office building.
Weston’s newly constructed building is located within the Horseshoe Pond Redevelopment Corridor. The company acquired the vacant site in 2008 and deconstructed the blighted structures, recycling more than 95 percent of the demolition debris, the company says. Selective timbers and granite blocks were salvaged for reuse in the new building and surrounding landscaping. The project followed an integrated design-build approach that encouraged collaboration between the project stakeholders.
The two-story structure was erected in less than 6 months and on budget. The building features innovative products and technologies that work together to increase the efficiency of the space and the comfort and wellness of its occupants. Among the sustainable features included are a geothermal heating and cooling system, automated thermal and lighting controls and a GreenGrid vegetated green roof system, according to the company.
Several architectural elements were incorporated into the building to highlight the site’s historic past. Project documentation has been submitted to the U.S. Green Building Council to achieve “Gold” certification under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.
Peter A. Ceribelli, Weston COO says, “We have transformed an underutilized property into a valuable asset using the same integrated process that we provide to our clients. This inspiring workplace illustrates our commitment to sustainability and green redevelopment in a manner that benefits our employees and the community.”
Weston is a global leader in environmental solutions, sustainable development, design/build construction, green buildings, and clean energy.
