Project Description
Jarmel Kizel was retained
to provide Berlex with a comprehensive package of services to facilitate the
complete re-stacking of their operations and business units. Programming
data was gathered at the three east coast offices (Wayne, Cedar Knolls and
Fairfield) and a program was developed that detailed the strategic
relocation of their units, within the Wayne campus and the new Montville
headquarters. As overall project coordinator, Jarmel Kizel was responsible
for designing the new facility and managing the relocation of staff,
furniture and equipment between all of Berlex’s offices. The Cedar Knolls
and Fairfield facilities were vacated at the completion of the project. The
completed project successfully met the interdepartmental adjacency
requirements, critical to Berlex’s business plan.
Unique Project Aspects
Included, within the new
120,000 SF Headquarters, was the construction of a cafeteria designed to
feed 300 people, a training facility with a 200 seat multipurpose room, a
video conferencing center and a small data center. Structural modifications
were made to the building to include a loading dock and a new service
elevator. Also, toilet rooms, elevators and site conditions were upgraded to
comply with the ADA-AG.
