Chemical manufacturer Ingevity Corp. is expanding its presence in North Charleston by building a new global corporate headquarters near its current operations. The 110,000-square-foot building will be located near the Garco site, which is undergoing renovations as a mixed-use project. The new headquarters will house the company’s leadership, business, non-technical support functions, and business development teams. MillerClapperton is fabricating and installing 21,650 square feet of Metal Composite Material and 350 square feet of Profiled Single Skin for the project, which is set to open this Spring.

The Atlanta skyline continues to evolve as several new offices are poised to open in the Metro area this year. By the end of 2020, Atlanta is expected to be home to 21 new office buildings totaling 2.7M square feet, including seven buildings in Midtown alone. Of those mentioned, there are six projects that have become the most highly anticipated projects of 2020 and MillerClapperton is proud to be working on three of them.

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has announced its list of Top 10 States for LEED green building. The list, now in its 10th year, ranks states based on the number of LEED certified square feet per person. It includes commercial and institutional green building projects that were certified in 2019, and recognizes leaders in sustainable design, construction, and operation of buildings in the U.S.

Recommendation: Best Podcasts of All-Time

A few months ago, I shared that I’m pretty much obsessed with podcasts and nothing has really changed there. I have a handful of podcasts that I listen to regularly, but I am always on the lookout for something that will pique my interest. On a recent road trip, I discovered a podcast from Wondery called 1865. It picks up just after President Lincoln was shot and reenacts the subsequent events from behind the scenes as they unfold. It’s an incredible series of events that tell the story of our early nation and I learned a lot that I didn’t know. But, if you’re not into history, I also found a great list of podcasts for 2020. There’s even a ‘best of all-time’ list that includes a few of the podcasts our team shared in Friday5 last year. Click below for more recommendations.
