ABOUT OUR PRESENTATION AND SPEAKERS:
In 2002, leaders at Alberici Corporation decided to be a leader in their industry and turn their corporate headquarters into the “greenest” building in town. In 2004, their efforts became reality when this building became the St Louis area’s first LEED Certified Platinum commercial building. To achieve this milestone, Alberici transformed a circa-1950s brick office building and large metal fabrication shed into a “green” class A office space and campus. But before that could be done, significant challenges had to be overcome. This included:
- An unneeded 60,000 sf existing brick and concrete office building
- A 485 ft by 300 ft metal structure previously used for metal fabrication and warehousing
- A heavily-paved brownfield site
- Excessive stormwater runoff, handled conventionally
- Asbestos and lead
- Demolition and waste
- 13.86 acres of neglected landscape
On October 22, 2008, our chapter will meet at Alberici’s Headquarters. We’ll get a tour from a project specialist who will take us through the story of this building’s dramatic transformation. You don’t want to miss this chapter event. Lunch will be provided before the tour in Alberici’s cafeteria.
