SAIF Headquarters Renovation & Addition

Salem, Oregon, United States

  • Overview

SAIF, an independent public corporation, is the market leader in the provision of workers’ compensation insurance for Oregon employers. When SAIF sought to renovate their 120,000 sf headquarters office, they needed a team versed in the design of class A office space, renovations, collocation and collaboration. The Design Team utilized Collaborative Project Delivery and on-boarded the subcontractors during Design Development to help facilitate an integrated and cost efficient process. Starting at 50% CDs, several of the Glumac team members worked with the subcontractors to model the routing of conduit and ductwork. We used ‘smart sheets’ available to all team members to track questions and make decisions in real time.

Seeking a sustainable and flexible design, the renovation to the c.1974, 5-story building included a 70,000 sf addition to accommodate the company’s growing workforce.

The building is projected to hit a EUI of 22 and 40% more efficient than code. Upon occupancy, building managers noted decreased utility bills despite the addition of more than 70,000 sf.
