DPR Construction Raleigh-Durham Office
DPR Construction Raleigh-Durham | Research Triangle Park, NC
DPR’s Raleigh-Durham office, located in the heart of Research Triangle Park, brings together 100,000-sq.-ft. of office and warehouse space into a single, purpose-built environment. The facility integrates 30,000 sq. ft. of open office space and 70,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space, creating a convergence hub where DPR and its family of companies can collaborate and innovate.
Project Scope
Designed with healthy workplace elements in mind, the office is intended to support the wellbeing, productivity and connection of the people who use it every day. The open layout encourages movement and interaction, while floor-to-ceiling operable glass doors create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Wellness-focused elements, including an exercise room, healthy food options, private wellness rooms and access to natural light, are designed to support both physical and mental wellbeing. The building targets net-zero energy and incorporates strategies intended to enhance air and water quality, lighting, comfort and overall occupant experience, contributing to the achievement of WELL™ Gold and LEED® Gold certifications.
The adjacent 70,000-sq.-ft. prefabrication research and development facility serves as a center of excellence for multi-trade, digital prefabrication. It provides space for teams to innovate with partners, allows clients to experience full-scale mockups and supports workforce development in a controlled environment with safety measures in place. As a Living Lab, the space enables DPR to test new ideas and technologies, capturing real-time performance data to inform future solutions for projects.
Bringing DPR’s family of companies together under one roof enhances collaboration and streamlines delivery, helping to deliver additional value to customers.
