This time next year Oklahoma City’s 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.
