PETRARCH - INTELLIGENT LEED CERTIFIED DESIGN FOR IDEXX LABS

Petrarch reconstituted stone rainscreen cladding is becoming an ever more popular choice for healthcare and community sector projects.

Petrarch clad IDEXX excels, achieving LEED Gold Certification

The new IDEXX, boasting 240,000 sf of new corporate office space has achieved LEED Gold Certification thanks to its use of daylighting, energy conservation, and green roofs, coupled with low-toxin, locally-sourced, and largely recycled materials.

‘We’re so privileged to boast a portfolio of award-winning Petrarch projects. IDEXX is yet again an excellent reference thanks to its eco- conscious ethos. The fact that it has won this esteemed LEED award is testament to its attentive environmental design.’

Tom Walker, Sales Director

In the words of the architect

‘The new public facade echoes the same palette of white masonry, expansive glass, and sleek metals that currently define the company’s image. Mindful of the motto “Under One Roof,” building massing has been proportioned to complement existing facilities. Views to nearby green and wooded landscape have been created to exemplify IDEXX’s mission of fostering connection between its employees and their environment.’

To complement this eco-friendly initiative, Lavallee Brensinger Architects selected Petrarch reconstituted stone cladding panels in Alabaster and Limestone, in both Smooth and Riven Matt finishes for the building’s exterior.

Petrarch stone cladding was chosen for a whole host of reasons, but principally because it is a highly resistant cladding material that should be celebrated at low levels thanks to its impact resistance. A market leading 50 year guarantee and its depth of colour palette were also key reasons for its choice. Petrarch has been the choice of the most discerning specifiers for over 50 years and continues to push the boundaries of creativity whilst being on point when it comes to price.
