Attracting new tenants was one of the primary goals in the renovation of the South Hill Business and Technology Center in Puyallup, Wash. The buildings are set far away from any main roads, so EHS Design Inc. created a modernized presence that would not be overlooked.
Location: Puyallup, Washington
Cost: $20 million
Start Date: November 2007
Completion Date: August 2010
Owner/Developer: The Benaroya Co.
Architect: EHS Design Inc.
Engineer: Barghausen, Homes Electric, Macdonald Miller, Quantum
General Contractor: JTM Construction
In addition to master planning and site planning, EHS provided interior design, architecture, project management and design services for the LEED pre-certified silver modernization project. The firm selected a strategy that focused on exterior and interior improvements to two main buildings on the 10-building, 92-acre site.
Exterior improvements included a new plaza and walkway canopies between the buildings, covered entries, signage design, and landscaping, which transformed the vacant microchip manufacturing plant into an attractive corporate campus.
鈥淲e looked at the property as a whole campus, and it was the first time the property has been looked at with those eyes,鈥 said Mia Marshall, project manager and senior interior designer at EHS. 鈥淲e scraped everything clean and tied it all together.鈥
