For Ingersoll-Rand Company, SJP developed a new headquarters facility for the Tool and Hoist Division in Clinton Township (Hunterdon County), New Jersey. The 106,500 sf build-to-suit project is situated within one-quarter mile of Interstate Route 78. Construction of the project began in October 1998 and the facility was completed in just 10 months’ time. In designing the building, SJP listened closely to the company’s needs and developed a facility that incorporated a number of unique features and amenities of importance to the users. One goal for the project was that it function as a Business Development Center for the Tool and Hoist Division -- not just in name, but also in philosophy and function. As such, the facility was designed to reflect the company’s culture, as well as their objective of strengthening their market leadership position. The project incorporates not only the usual office space, but also a prototype and product development evaluation laboratory for the company’s new tool designs. That involved a series of labs including high and low temperature labs, a vibration lab, and a “destructive” or “explosion” lab. As a consequence, this project involved significant structural, containment and acoustical issues, including special electrical and compressed air requirements, 100% outside air filtration and more. In addition, the building features a museum showcasing historic Ingersoll-Rand products, a library and a fully equipped fitness center. SJP was responsible for all aspects of the entire development -- from obtaining state and local approvals, coordinating and supervising the design, and arranging construction and permanent financing, to supervising construction of the building shell. In addition, SJP acted as Construction Manager for the interior fit-out work. That design was very complex, requiring among other things the meticulous coordination of MEP services in exposed ceilings, the laboratory and testing areas, a cafeteria, and strict noise level standards.
