Johnson Health Technologies
2008 Tilt-Up Achievement Award Winner :: Corporate Headquarters Division
Submitted by Newcomb Construction Inc. of Madison, Wisconsin
With a September groundbreaking date for a new corporate headquarters for the Wisconsin arm of Taiwan-based Johnson Health Technologies, Newcomb Construction, Inc. was facing a looming deadline for getting the building’s shell up before winter weather descended.
Although the structure was enclosed quickly and fully complete in just over a year, Newcomb didn’t take any shortcuts on the details, working around the challenges posed by unorthodox window placements and insisting upon a high finish quality for the panels in the 45,000-square-foot office building, knowing that many would remain exposed on the interior.
The exterior of the office is characterized by multiple roof heights that create sawtooth skylights and clerestory windows, delivering plenty of natural light into the office. The south façade of the 180,000-square-foot warehouse boasts an architectural “green wall” attached to the Tilt-Up wall and planted with vines that will eventually fill the 350-foot-long by 30-foot-high space.
Named one of Wisconsin Builder’s top projects of 2006, the complex has achieved its goal of providing the company with a unified corporate image to attract overseas investors.
