Sullivan Const. completes new 8,900 s/f environmentally friendly headquarters

Sullivan Construction, Inc. has relocated their corporate offices to 258-260 South River Rd. The project has been submitted to the U.S. Green Building Council and is working to achieve New Hampshire's first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum accredited commercial interior project. The design/build and construction management company worked with Berard-Martel Architects, TF Moran Engineeers and the Jordan Institute on the project. The Sullivan team completed interior renovations to the newly purchased 8,900 s/f, two story colonial office building, which was the former Nationwide Insurance building. According to president Tom Sullivan, their new headquarters impresses possible clients who are interested in using green components for a new project. Sullivan used abundant natural light and bamboo lumber for floors. They also used other flooring products that were produced with recycled materials. Other products included low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) paints and finishes, spray foam insulation, energy-efficient HVAC systems and lighting, water saving low-flow toilets and faucets and Energy Star rated equipment. Also, the company built a changing room and bike storage room to encourage employees to use environmental methods of commuting to work. The state of New Hampshire currently has 15 LEED accredited projects. After completion of renovations, the company relocated to the new facility in October 2008. The USGBC's LEED Green Building Rating System encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria.
