Baumüller Corporate Headquarters

Electric Motor Distribution, Repair and Sales Facility
Windsor, Connecticut
After several interviews, and reviewing proposals from three local design/builders, Brian Scott, Vice President of Baumüller LNI, chose Aecon for this project.

John Morgan of Aecon Design Builders explains Aecon's unique proposal: "...the site plan was designed from the beginning to be a four-part building - each part connects to form a deeper rectangle - and each part is laid out to make progressive expansion easier. With this "modular" site plan, any project element - parking, loading or building - can be added at any time, by constructing the new segment, and, when necessary, simply removing the interior wall."

While Aecon was managing the town approval process, Baumüller concurrently ordered a wide variety of design changes. All requested modifications to design, budget and schedule were worked out in detail by the time the Town of Bloomfield approved the project. After receiving town approvals, construction began in November of 1998, and proceeded through June 1999. The building was occupied and working in mid-July.

An impressive entrance from off-the-shelf parts

There was another important requirement: the building needed to present a refined appearance to visitors. Aecon's design used standard building components (except for 12 insulated glass inserts) to construct the entryway that announces the North American headquarters of this prestigious German manufacturer.
