Mount Pleasant, SC
Thomas & Hutton, teamed with Choate Construction and LS3P Architects, is working on the development of a new 88,000-square foot office building to serve as headquarters for the South Carolina State Ports Authority. The new headquarters will allow SCSPA to house its employees under one roof in a state-of-the-art facility utilizing collaborative work environment concepts on both the interior and exterior of the building. The building features an open floor plan with numerous collaboration spaces. The concept encourages random encounters between co-workers throughout the building, due to its open nature and features, such as a central atrium, cafeteria, fitness center, and numerous collaboration areas.
