This four level 132,000 sf building is the largest building at the of Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. corporate headquarters campus, in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Cope Linder Architects was selected to work closely with Lutron’s founder and the senior management team after demonstrating the ability to listen carefully to Lutron’s vision. And, Lutron found Cope Linder Architects’ ability to clearly express 3-dimensional concepts in real time a valuable asset during the collaborative work sessions. The resulting building’s office space design and function is unique, focusing on a central atrium and reinforcing Lutron’s emphasis on team connectivity, creativity, and programming flexibility. A flexible conference training center and employee cafeteria are also included within the facility.
Cope Linder Architects also worked closely with Lutron’s construction manager and key Lehigh Valley sub-contractors. The MEP systems have been developed applying a concept that allows Lutron to use their own building as a test-bed for developing new control systems and products. And, in addition to addressing Lutron’s program, Cope Linder Architects worked to detail the project within the budget and schedule parameters.
