Utah Construction & Design Magazine If not, you haven’t seen the new 11-story, 327,000 SF 3047 W Parkway Blvd. STE A, Mountain America Credit Union (MACU) headquarters, an Salt Lake City UT 84119 impossible-to-miss, modern high-rise in Sandy City’s Cairns O: (801) 747-9202 District (think downtown). What sets this building apart is its M: (801) 433-7541 glass curtain wall system, a dynamic, one-of-a-kind exterior that www.utahcdmag.com rivals any glass building in the state, or elsewhere, for that matter. The 106,000 SF unitized curtain wall system was designed by Salt Lake-based Steel Bradley H. Fullmer Encounters, Inc. (along with international firm Euro-façade Tech), fabricated by Steel Publisher/Managing Editor Encounters, and manufactured by Oldcastle Building Envelope. [email protected] The four-sided structural glazed system required no exterior metal, allowing the glass to read more ‘flat and true’, offering ultimate reflectivity, the ability to mitigate glare and heat Ladd J. Marshall gain, while reducing noise from highway traffic on I-15. All of those were critical factors in Advertising Sales Director meeting – even exceeding – the owner’s requirements. [email protected] I took a tour of the building in December with architects Marbe Agee and Amber Lake of method studio, along with Chris Tapia with MACU, and it is indeed a mind blower! Panoramic Jay Hartwell views from the upper floors, and exterior views from even the innermost core areas. Most Art Director employee workstations are located on perimeters, with offices toward the middle. Top [email protected] executives on the top floor have nice offices, but only President/CEO Sterling Nielsen has the proverbial ‘corner office’ on the 11th floor – as well he should, being the leader of the second largest credit union in Utah (ranked in the Top 20 in the U.S.) with a reported $7.5 billion in assets, 740,000 members, and 90-plus branches. It’s amazing to see the level of detail designers put into so many seemingly minute details – well, minute to the average person who doesn’t consider columns integrated into corners before final drywall is done, support backs on chairs lining up with window mullions so as to not obscure clean lines and views, cabinets with trash bins having the base attached, and many other fine details that came about via thorough extensive client interviews and surveys during programming phase. It’s a building worth seeing up close, and no doubt many will get that opportunity given its location next to Hale Center Theatre (MACU is graciously sharing its mammoth 1,743-stall above-ground parking structure (after normal business hours) with the theater patrons, and the local community in general. MACU’s cafeteria is definitely worth checking out, a space with a variety of hip seating options for future Millennial and Gen Z workforces (Agee pointed out that an estimated 20% of the workforce will be Gen Z by 2020).
