Perdue Announces
Corporate Office Project
SALISBURY — Perdue has
announced a two-year project to remodel the Corporate Office building in
Salisbury. The new floor plan will include environmentally responsible design,
feature open spaces to encourage collaboration, and provide the technological infrastructure
to support a more productive work environment.
While incorporating
building practices to reduce its impact on the environment, Perdue is pursuing
LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building
certification for the renovation project with hopes of obtaining Gold status.
“We have the opportunity
as part of our remodel to look into new technologies and methodologies that can
help us have a smaller environmental footprint, in addition to saving money,”
said Steve Schwalb, vice president of Environmental Sustainability. “The
certification helps guide us through the renovation process. It isn’t only
about efficiency, but the whole package of responsible environmental design,
including associate comfort.”
According to the U.S.
Green Building Council, “LEED® is an internationally recognized
green building certification system, providing third-party verification
that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at
improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings,
water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor
environmental quality, stewardship of resources and sensitivity to
environmental impacts.”
Perdue will install a
new HVAC system within the renovated space, which, based on an engineering
study commissioned by Perdue, should reduce energy costs by 25 percent and will
create a more comfortable workspace. The parking lot was recently repaved and
spaces will be designated for high efficiency vehicles.
“The $12.8 million
remodel represents the most cost-effective way to provide the office space
needed to support our company’s strategic and growth plans,” said Eileen Burza,
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “By implementing alternative
workspace solutions for selected jobs, we will renovate the existing space to
meet our needs and reduce our environmental impact, with significantly less
capital investment than either expanding the existing structure or building new
office space.”
Perdue has signed a
short-term lease at the former Circuit City building in Salisbury, a few miles
from the corporate office, to free up the necessary space to begin the
Corporate Office remodel renovation. The company’s Information Technology team
will temporarily work at the remodeled Circuit City building until they can
return to the Corporate Office.
