Dana, World HQ & Tech Center — Entry Addition

Program Solutions Group provided Pre-Design and Planning services, and served as Construction Manager for this project at Dana’s World Headquarters in 2015. This complex project involved multiple phases of construction throughout several areas of the existing building, all while working with Dana to relocate staff and services accordingly to keep everyone operational during construction.

The project scope included the renovation of over 17,000 sq. ft. of existing first and second floor offices, conference rooms, workstations, and a remodel of the employee fitness center. It also included a complete gut and remodel of the 3,500 sq. ft. employee cafeteria, serving area, and back-of-house prep kitchen under an extremely aggressive schedule to keep down-time to a minimum.

The centerpiece of this project is the new 3,300 sq. ft., two-story, all glass entry structure and patio. The new entry structure includes a reception area, security desk and state-of-the-art product display area. Connected via a new monument stair, the second floor contains a new executive conference room, break-out area, and offices. The 50,000 sq. ft. entry walkway incorporated a new granite monument sign, landscaping, and 50,000 sq. ft. of pavers with an incorporated snowmelt system.
