SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ:TRMB) announced today that it has begun construction on a
second building in Westminster,
Colorado. With the capacity to accommodate over 1,100
workers, the Westminster campus
will be Trimble's largest
employment center and will continue to serve as a central business
hub for several of Trimble's core
market segments including agriculture, construction and geospatial.
Construction is scheduled for completion in late 2018.
The Colorado construction will
extend Trimble's U.S. and
international footprint. The company currently has more than 9,200
employees in 39 countries in North
America, Europe,
South America, Africa and Asia. In the U.S., Trimble has facilities in 27 states with
significant presence in California, Ohio, Minnesota and Oregon. The company's headquarters are in
Sunnyvale, California.
The Westminster building
project will showcase Trimble
technologies, which improve efficiencies across the entire building
lifecycle. Contractors, surveyors, architects and designers will
use more than 50 Trimble solutions for the planning, construction
and operational phases of the new facility. General contractor JE
Dunn and trade partners in mechanical, electrical, plumbing, layout
and concrete will use these capabilities to streamline their work
and coordinate with other stakeholders in the building
workflow—resulting in significant cost and schedule benefits.
Project progress and the use of technologies can be monitored

"Trimble's comprehensive
approach to civil and building construction technology makes it
easier for our teams to communicate with each other, work more
efficiently, and stay on schedule," said Vince Stellino, senior project manager at JE
Dunn Construction. "We use Trimble
technology on many of our jobsites, but it's an added bonus to have
Trimble product teams on hand each
day as we leverage the products they have developed for the
construction of their own office building."
"Trimble's mission is to
provide transformative solutions that impact every phase of a
construction project and using our own facility as a demonstration
project is an exciting opportunity," said Steven W. Berglund, president and CEO of
Trimble. "For the duration of the
project, we will be able to closely interact with all of the
stakeholders, deepen our insight and utilize the learning in future
solutions."
The building project will pursue a LEED Silver certification and
will include an open design; ample co-working areas to provide
flexibility for a highly mobile workforce; and a walkway connecting
the two buildings. A large, multi-use space will open to an outdoor
amphitheater, providing outdoor meeting space.
"There's a distinct focus on open, flexible spaces with
touch-down work stations to help accommodate Trimble's highly mobile, global workforce,"
said Rick Petersen, principal at
Denver-based OZ Architecture and lead engineer on the project. "The
design also makes the most of both indoor and outdoor space,
integrating the two buildings with areas to work, gather and hold
meetings outdoors so Trimble
employees can take full advantage of Colorado's climate and gorgeous views."
"Colorado's Denver-Boulder corridor complements our Silicon
Valley corporate headquarters. Colorado has proven to be a strategic element
in our U.S. operations since we opened our initial Westminster office in 2000 and completed the
first building project in 2013," said Berglund. "The area attracts
a desirable and growing pool of tech talent and provides an
attractive quality of life to our employees. In addition, the
region's tech-savvy, forward thinking has led to extensive use of
Trimble technology. Colorado is a natural choice for
expansion."
