Constructing buildings, partnerships and relationships with integrity since 1879
The existing SUSS manufacturing facility underwent extensive renovations, encompassing 32,000 square feet, to consolidate the Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) research and development (R&D) departments into a single location. As part of the project, a new 5,000-square-foot mezzanine with large dormers was constructed to introduce ample natural light into the space. This project is proudly LEED-certified and includes dedicated areas for a laboratory, cafeteria, and office space.
The renovation of the SUSS manufacturing facility provided an opportunity to optimize the GMCR R&D operations by bringing various departments together under one roof. This consolidation aimed to enhance collaboration, streamline processes, and foster innovation within the organization. The addition of a new mezzanine featuring large dormers not only expanded the available space but also flooded the interior with natural light, creating a welcoming and productive environment.
With a commitment to sustainability, this project achieved LEED certification, demonstrating a focus on energy efficiency, resource conservation, and environmentally responsible design. The laboratory space was thoughtfully designed to meet the specific requirements of GMCR’s research and development activities, providing a controlled and functional environment for experimentation and analysis. The cafeteria area was carefully designed to accommodate the needs of employees, providing a comfortable and inviting space for meals and breaks. Office spaces were also included, offering a productive work environment for the R&D teams.
The successful completion of this project highlights our expertise in delivering high-quality renovations that meet the unique needs of our clients. By creating a consolidated, LEED-certified facility for GMCR’s R&D departments, we supported their commitment to innovation, sustainability, and employee well-being.
