Liberty’s unique redevelopment of a 20-year old building reused 50% of the original building—structural steel and floor plates—while using 20-percent recycled content in the materials used to reconstruct and expand the property by 6,000 square feet. This massive green renovation included installing energy efficient light fixtures, larger windows and higher ceiling heights to provide more natural light to the interior, as well as using highly efficient HVAC systems to reduce the building’s overall energy consumption as compared to a typical building of this size.
In 2007 Liberty demolished two obsolete, single-story buildings to create a 4-story, 104,000 square foot, Class A office building.
