Southington, CT – ACG North America, Inc. of Bristol recently completed the renovation of a former manufacturing facility into corporate office space for Mohawk Northeast in Southington.
ACG completed renovations to 25,000sf of space at 170 Canal Street in the Plantsville section of Southington, formerly occupied by a metal fastener manufacturing operation.
The project featured the transformation of existing industrial space into modern and efficient office workspace for use as Mohawk Northeast’s new corporate headquarters.
“Significant electrical, mechanical and plumbing upgrades were required to build-out new office, kitchen and restroom facilities,” according to William Mascetti, Vice President of ACG. “Considerable work was required to bring the building up to code and convert the space to office use.”
Interior renovations included new office space, conference facilities, an employee kitchen, restrooms and storage areas. A glass enclosed vestibule was constructed to create a new main entry to the building. Insulation was added to improve the R-value and bring the building envelope up to code. Energy efficient light fixtures and appliances were incorporated into the design to reduce long term operations and maintenance costs.
Designed by Farmington-based Friar Associates, the fast track project required that construction be completed within an aggressive six month schedule. Mohawk Northeast, a construction firm specializing in heavy and marine construction projects, relocated its headquarters from Newington. Portions of the building are also used as warehouse space to store construction equipment and materials.
