Wieland Davco Corporation
Headquarters Building
Lansing, Michigan

The Wieland-Davco Corporation’s new headquarters is located on English Oak Drive in the Oakwood Executive Park. The 27,000 square foot building is situated on the heavily treed site with minimal change to the natural grade and only selective tree removal. Access to the building from the parking lot is by a cast-in-place concrete bridge with stainless steel railings that winds its way through the trees to the main entrance.

The main lobby is 22 feet high to the exposed roof structure with full height glazed curtain walls that provide views of the trees that surround the building. The lobby features a full height wall of polished black granite that provides a dramatic contrast to the open views of the exterior.

The building’s interior is comprised of an open plan with very few walls that extend to the roof. The structure is left exposed, as is the building infrastructure. Interior lighting is accomplished primarily with suspended and wall mounted indirect fixtures throughout. The building is a steel frame with metal stud infill and pre-finished composite metal panels.

There is a significant amount of glazed curtain wall to provide abundant daylight to the interior. The glass and metal exterior surfaces provide a striking contrast to the heavily treed surroundings.
