Case Study: Hensel Phelps achieves a sustainable, collaborative headquarters with Gensler

Hensel Phelps builds a 142,000-square-foot headquarters with Gensler

Hensel Phelps, an employee-owned construction firm, faced the challenge of creating a new global headquarters that would demonstrate its industry leadership and innovation while honoring its nearly century-long legacy of craftsmanship. The company needed the building to incorporate progressive, sustainable technologies and materials without compromising approachability or its regional context in Loveland, Colorado. To address this, they partnered with the architecture and design firm Gensler.

Gensler delivered a 142,000-square-foot mass timber structure designed to achieve both LEED Gold and WELL Platinum certifications. The solution included a three-story central atrium to promote collaboration, abundant natural light, and high-performance mechanical systems. The impact was a headquarters that serves as a living testament to the company's values, elevating employee experience, enhancing collaboration, and strengthening cultural identity. Gensler's design successfully set a new benchmark for sustainable development, demonstrating how advanced building methods and environmental stewardship can seamlessly coexist.
