rustic Gold Dome will be returned
to its original splendor – with some
spectacular enhancements.
Wednesday afternoon, Edmond
based TEEMCO rolled out the red
carpet as it celebrated ground
breaking for it’s new headquarters
in the much-beloved dome, located
at the N.W. 23rd Street-N. Classen
intersection near the Paseo Arts
District.
During the event, TEEMCO president
and CEO Greg Lorson, of Edmond,
said the building represents the
company’s objective to protect the
environment. Beyond it’s aesthetic
a n d h i s t o r y, t h e s t r u c t u r e ’s f o r m
and materials – concrete, wood,
stone, and metal – represent the
intersection of natural and man-made
elements.
TEEMCO plans to add interior
geological, water and technological
elements that are both functional
and artistic, Lorson said, “For us,
the entire building, including our
presence in the building as an
environmental engineering firm, will
become a statement of how man can
positively impact his environment,”
he said.
Lorson said the project will cost
several million dollars and it will be
occupied by 65 employees early
next year. The grand re-opening is
scheduled for early March 2014.
