Waltham, MA – Virgin Money, a social lending company in Waltham, chose Bergmeyer Associates and Commodore Builders to design and remodel a sustainable office space. Virgin Money occupies 28,500sf on the top three floors of a six story office building. The project took place in the Spring of 2008, although final LEED certification came through in August of this year. The space was a remodeled interior construction and includes offices, conference rooms, and a large kitchen/lounge/rec area.
Overall construction materials were regional and maintained the required percentage of recycled content. Indoor air quality was ensured by using low VOC products, including carpet. Bamboo flooring, stained concrete, white and red solid surface countertops, red translucent glass, recycled open-office furniture and windows with recycled content are found throughout the space.
