The CEO of Vertical Screen recognized that the construction of a new headquarters facility would represent the most significant impact on the environment that he would make in his lifetime. He elected for that to be a positive impact and charged the design team accordingly.
Vertical Screen Corporate Headquarters is a commercial office development on a brownfield site located in Warminster, Pennsylvania. The 49,600 sf building is designed to house up to 450 employees. The project is located on nine acres that were once part of the Naval Air Warfare Center which served as the training facility for America’s Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space programs. The building’s footprint rests on the former runway.
The design embraced the site’s historic past by taking on the iconic form of an aircraft hangar. A large singular volume supported by 11 barrel-shaped glulam beams with a 144’ clear span that provides an open office with access to fresh air and daylight. The workspace is located in the ‘garden zone’, an open area where employees can enjoy views of the natural meadow.
Upon its completion this project received its LEED Platnium Certification with a score of 58 points making the building the greenest in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and tied it for the seventh-highest LEED score in the United States and ninth highest in the world. The building also functions as an educational building, available for tours in an effort to share information about environmental technologies with students or other businesses interested in creating sustainable work environments.
