OFFICE BUILDING / RESEARCH CENTER, RALEIGH, NC
THIS PROJECT WAS A DESIGN/BUILD PROPOSAL FOR A 364,476 GSF OFFICE BUILDING AND RESEARCH FACILITY FOR A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY. THE CURVED THREE-STORY RESEARCH FACILITY CONTAINS RESEARCH OFFICES AND LABS ON THE TWO UPPER FLOORS, WITH A CAFETERIA FOR EMPLOYEES ON THE LOWER FLOOR, THAT OPENS TO AN OUTDOOR DINING PLAZA IN THE COURTYARD. THE EXECUTIVE DINING ROOM ON THE SECOND FLOOR HAS A DINING BALCONY. THE BALANCE OF THE LOWER FLOOR CONTAINS SHIPPING, RECEIVING, MAIL, KITCHEN, STORAGE AND MECHANICAL SPACE. THE NINE-STORY OFFICE TOWER AND THE ELEVEN-STORY CORE ARE DESIGNED TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITH THE RESEARCH FACILITY, AS PHASE ONE. THE TEN-STORY OFFICE TOWER WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED AS PHASE TWO. THE ONE-STORY LINK BETWEEN THE RESEARCH LABS AND THE OFFICE TOWERS HAS A PORTE COCHERE, ENTRANCE AND RECEPTION.
