Ancon provided design-build services for the building envelope and site work and managed these fast-track projects. The projects all utilized Butler’s multi-story structural system and Butler MR-24 standing seam roof systems erected by Ancon’s steel crew. All 3-story projects ranging in size from 42,000 to 125,000 square feet. 

Green Considerations:

• 100% of stormwater retained on site.
• Site balanced to keep 100% of fill on site.
• Concrete pavement is used to reduce the heat island effect and aid site lighting.
• Energy-efficient envelope with groundwater source heat pumps
• Retention ponds utilized for stormwater retentions.
• Butler steel structure and roof made from recyclable materials.

 The project consists of interior renovation and office buildout to their corporate headquarters. The project included modern offices with interior windows clustered around a “think tank” (collaboration lounge), restrooms with employee showers, a spacious conference room, a two-story atrium lounge, conference rooms, and employee hang out zones. Interior design concepts focused on the building user and the experience which they have in a work-place environment.

Ancon renovated 5,800 square feet of existing space at Maitland Engineering in South Bend, IN. The renovation included private and open offices, small and large conference rooms, glass walls, and upgraded the facade. The new agile work environment provides employees flexibility and collaboration.

Agdia World Headquarters is a two-story, 50,000 sq. ft. Corporate office building and research laboratory – located outside of Elkhart, Indiana. The new building replaces the company’s nearby outdated facility. The project scope aimed to create a functional and beautiful place to work for its employees, improve processes and production, and be a beacon within the company – as it is a world leader in the agricultural diagnostics industry.

The building features numerous office spaces, laboratories, growth chambers, and a rooftop patio space adjacent to an employee break room.

Project Cost: 6.5 million.
