Inwood Breaking New Ground on Corporate Office

Inwood Consulting Engineers, Inc. ceremonially broke ground on Friday, November 9, 2007 for a new $7.8 million corporate office building, located in Winter Springs, that will allow for continuing growth and expansion of the firm. 
 
The 30,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility, will sit on four acres of water-front property located across from the Oviedo Marketplace and is just minutes away from the current office in Oviedo. Due for completion in July 2008, the facility will have the capability to expand to 45,000 square feet in the future.
 
Inwood has seen steady growth and success since it’s inception in 1995.  The firm started with five employees and now, 12 years later, has a staff of just over 50.  The new facility will offer the space needed to achieve the long-term goals of the firm.
 
Inwood’s new office facility will have the capacity to house approximately 130 employees with plenty of parking for visitors and staff. Inwood will lease approximately 10,000 square feet of the ground floor to other businesses until the additional space is required to accommodate an increase in staff.

 “We are excited about the opportunities involved with the new facility.  The additional space will not only allow us to potentially double our staff, but will provide opportunity to add new services for our clients and ultimately reach our goal of becoming a full service consulting engineering firm,” stated Alex Hull, President of Inwood.
 
According to Hull, the new building represents a commitment to growth for the future.   Aside from expanding the civil, environmental, transportation and public involvement services the firm already provides, Inwood plans to launch construction management, environmental sciences and planning divisions. 
 
The new facility will be on the forefront of technology with a building automation system, wireless network, converged data and voice network and a video network with flat panel plasma televisions throughout the building.  In addition the facility features several upgrades including a larger, café style break room, fully equipped conference rooms and an expanded video production office to include a green screen and sound booth for recording voice-overs.  In keeping with the Corporate Wellness Program, the facility is designed with health and fitness in mind.  The building is a smoke-free facility and showers and lockers will be provided in the restrooms.
 
“The City of Winter Springs is thrilled to have Inwood Consulting Engineers, Inc. join our community.  The ground breaking marks growth for the city as well as the firm, said John Bush, Mayor of Winter Springs.  Bush stated that Inwood’s new facility is the third Class A building in Winter Springs. He and the Commission are looking forward to more businesses developing in the city of this quality.
