Business Wire
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) announced today its
Philadelphia-based interior design group provided services for
Saint-Gobain’s newly opened, state-of-the-art corporate
headquarters for North America.
Saint-Gobain, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of
building and high performance materials, officially opened its new
headquarters in Malvern, Pennsylvania on October 15, 2015 – the
company’s official 350-year anniversary. The 320,000-square-foot
campus, situated on 65 acres, has undergone a transformative
renovation over the past 18 months to create a dynamic showcase for
Saint-Gobain and its North American construction materials
subsidiary CertainTeed Corporation.
The facility is a high-performance, sustainable building
designed to achieve the highest level of Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green
Building Council for the commercial interiors and the core and
shell.
As interior design lead for the project, Jacobs was asked to
address specific requests related to Saint-Gobain’s workplace
environment. These requirements included minimizing barriers
between groups to encourage collaboration and creating a dynamic
environment that inspires creativity. The interior design supports
employee wellbeing by maximizing exposure to daylight, encouraging
healthy eating, providing a state-of-the-art fitness center and
incorporating effective acoustic treatments and lighting.
The interior fit-out focused on maximizing the use of many of
Saint-Gobain’s innovative products. Thirty-eight interior products
from the Saint-Gobain family of companies were used, including many
ceiling products and other dynamic decorative ceilings materials
were featured in collaborative spaces to ensure maximum acoustical
quality. Exterior siding product and textured glass were used
unconventionally within the cafeteria, creating an engaging
showcase for Saint-Gobain products. Acoustic wall and ceiling
treatments as well as low noise reduction coefficient gypsum wall
board help to provide a comfortable environment for the
employees.
Commenting on the announcement, Jacobs Buildings &
Infrastructure Senior Vice President Randy Pierce said, “We are
delighted to have played a major role on this exciting, landmark
project for Saint-Gobain, as it celebrates its 350-year
anniversary. This new building is a showcase for innovation and
collaborative working spaces, providing a sustainable, healthy,
comfortable and environmentally friendly facility for everyone who
works at or visits the building. In partnering with Saint-Gobain,
we have been able to access the global Jacobs network to leverage
our unique international interior design experience and
expertise.”
Jacobs is one of the world's largest and most diverse providers
of technical, professional and construction services.
