Client: IRG Realty Advisors, LLC

Scope: 174,500 SF Office Relocation Interior Renovations

Construction Cost: $12,550,000

Completion Date: December 2019

The project consisted of interior renovations and build-out for the New Global Headquarters of Babcock & Wilcox in Akron, Ohio.  The project is part of a larger historic tax credit development by IRG serving to restore the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Headquarters buildings at Akron’s East End.

The B&W space spans two floors of two existing buildings on the property.  The KAI A&E Team (including Richardson Design and Osborn Engineering) provided full basic services from Conceptual Design through completion of Construction Documents and Contract Administration Phase Services for the project.

The program included a new lobby, private and open offices, meeting and collaboration spaces, as well as breakout spaces for nineteen internal departments. The completed design established a corporate identity for B&W while complying with historic preservation guidelines.
