Office Building's Amenities Encourage Workers to 'Play Hard'
Choate Construction's third project for tech marketing company Red Ventures in Indian Land, S.C., is designed to provide employees with a unique set of amenities that contribute to a "work hard, play hard" atmosphere. The five-story, 200,000-sq-ft cast-in-place concrete office building features a beer garden, a six-lane bowling alley, a lounge and a cafeteria, while outside, the new project adds a soccer field, two tennis courts, two beach volleyball courts and other recreation areas to the company's existing campus.
Also included as part of Choate's contract was a four-level, 1,200-space precast parking deck and a 5,000-sq-ft connector—referred to as a "living-room bridge"—that attaches to an existing office building. The building's exterior is composed of curtain wall, metal panels and EIFS system.
