Wyoming Machinery Office Remodel and Addition

The facility serves as the executive headquarters for the multiple remote facilities across the state. The 1960's structure had been outgrown and was in need of a major office expansion and a remodel of the existing office area with a refreshed look to the aging facility.

The existing executive office area and entry are reimagined with a sleek, modern aesthetic and a nod toward the industrial nature of the work being performed in the shop areas. Interior circulation and way-finding was reworked to be intuitive. The interiors are refreshed with new paint, furnishings and artwork depicting historic Caterpillar machinery.

The new office addition floor plan features open work areas around the perimeter which borrow natural light to the enclosed interior offices via sidelights while interior core spaces are reserved for less-occupied spaces such as I.T. room, file rooms and small conference areas. A new engine dynamometer test cell was added onto the shop area and now serves as the central location for testing the largest Caterpillar engines operating in the state. LED lighting throughout contributes to the projects sustainability and the project became the first peak shaving energy facility in Casper.
