As Alltech has grown into a worldwide brand so has their work force. This rapid growth led to the requirement for more office space to house their Finance and Accounting departments, as well as, I.T., Regulatory, and Human Resources.
This project was a continuation of the partnership STW has established with Alltech. Having completed the design of the Alltech Dueling Barrels project in Pikeville, and assisting with various projects for Alltech at other locations, STW partnered with Gray Construction to provide mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design for the office expansion. The goal for Alltech, Gray, and STW is to provide a beautiful, inviting, comfortable, and efficient office building.
The 75,000 square foot, three-story project was a significant addition to Alltech’s worldwide headquarters. Vast amounts of glass for natural day lighting enhance the office spaces, display and museum areas, collaborative meeting rooms, and the 100-seat lecture hall. The crown jewel of the project is a 2,000 square foot conservatory – a steel and glass structure with amenities to host dinner parties, fund raisers, and numerous other events Alltech may host.
The MEP systems for the project were carefully chosen to provide efficiency, reduced maintenance, concealment, and controllability. The mechanical system is a VAV system with air cooled chiller, hot water re-heat system using high efficiency gas-fired condensing boilers. The all-LED lighting system includes custom centerpiece fixtures throughout for decorative appeal. All MEP systems are controllable through a Building Automation System (BAS) to give Alltech full control over scheduling.
