1/9/2009 (Chandler, Arizona) – Developer, Gilbane Development Company, has selected McShane Construction Company’s Phoenix office to construct a new 82,000 square foot, build-to-suit office facility in Chandler, Arizona for Orbital Sciences. This Class A, LEED™-registered building will accommodate the expansion needs of Orbital Sciences Corporation (NYSE:ORB), one of the world’s leading space technology companies. McShane Construction’s design/build assignment consists of a three-story, state-of-the-art office facility along with a two-story parking structure. Designed to Orbital’s unique specifications, the contemporary office facility will meet LEED™ certification standards upon completion. The project will be constructed with a post-tensioned concrete frame and glass curtain wall enclosure. Additional design characteristics, such as abundant natural interior light and a reclaimed water irrigation system, will contribute toward the project’s LEED™ status upon completion this August. The interior space planning provides for 322 offices connected via a walkway to Orbital Sciences’ existing adjacent campus located at 3380 S. Price Road in Chandler. Dallas, Texas-based Gromatzky Dupree and Associates is providing the architectural services for the project.
