As a well-known construction manager and general building contractor, Auch Construction transformed a formerly contaminated brownfield site, at the prominent intersection of Woodward Avenue and University Drive, into the eastern gateway into Pontiac which serves as a symbol of reinvestment, revitalization and renewal in a recovering region.
The design of the new headquarters reflects the 109-year-old contracting firm’s pride in its history, commitment to investing in its surrounding community and company culture of openness, inclusion and evolution. Within a large, high-ceilinged loft space, an open interior supports visual and operational connections between team members and encourages mentoring, a key pillar of company culture. Easily accommodating Auch’s current 65-person staff with room to grow, the new headquarters also reflects employees’ commitment to sustainability, and is on track for LEED Gold certification.
