Gerner, Kronick + Valcarcel Architects, PC, (GKV Architects) has begun construction on the offices of CitationShares, a division of Cessna Aircraft Company specializing in fractional jet ownership and jet card membership. Located at 5 American Lane, this is the second project GKV has worked on for CitationShares in Connecticut.
The project focus is expansion of existing office space into newly leased space, providing additional offices and training rooms at CitationShares' corporate headquarters. The expansion results in additional offices, open plan work spaces and flexible training rooms. Prior to the suggested changes, the company was quickly outgrowing its workspace and needed a solution. As a result, the enlarged space will allow CitationShares to increase productivity by providing ample and organized work spaces and better functioning training areas with larger capacities.
GKV's architectural services on the project include space evaluation, programming and full architectural services from design through construction administration. The new offices and training rooms comprise 10,000 s/f.
"This project highlights many of the things we do best as a firm," said Richard Kronick, principal, GKV Architects. "By expanding the existing space through implementing a rigorous architectural and design plan, we are able to enhance productivity through the use of new areas."
