(Long Island, NY) H2M architects + engineers is pleased to announce its relocation to a new, expanded headquarters, just one mile north of the firm’s previous location on Broad Hollow Road in Melville. After 26 years in its prior space, the firm made the move to 538 Broad Hollow Road on September 30.
The new office marks a new beginning for the 80-year-old firm, whose 190 Long Island employees have been reunited under one roof; previously, staff was divided between two Melville locations, as the firm had outgrown its original space. At 40,000 square feet, H2M’s new office space is 16,000 square feet larger than its prior headquarters. The space was built out entirely from scratch, and the firm incorporated a number of sustainable features into its design. In addition to low- and zero-VOC carpeting and finishes, the space boasts pronounced natural lighting, high-efficiency electrical and mechanical systems, and furniture is composed of 84% recycled materials.
“It was important for us to make our new space both functional and green. Our open design maximizes daylight to interior spaces, so virtually every desk benefits from natural light,” said Robert Scheiner, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. “It’s a vibrant space, and we’re excited to set down new roots in our long-time home here on Long Island.”
H2M celebrated the move with an open house/ribbon-cutting event for its clients, associates, and local officials on October 10. Attendees were treated to a tour of the new office and a look at some of the design technologies that H2M uses in its day-to-day work.
“Our new headquarters was specifically designed to meet our current and future needs. The open layout fosters collaboration among our engineers, architects, and planners, improving the coordination and delivery of our services,” said Rich Humann, H2M’s President and CEO. “We’re looking forward to growing into our new space and better serving our clients.”
H2M Labs remains at 575 Broad Hollow Road, where it is undergoing a renovation and expansion.
