MTI Completes Elk Grove Village Administration and Public Safety Complex
Mayor Craig Johnson cuts the ribbon at the Grand Opening Ceremony
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Elk Grove Village, Illinois, April 9, 2009 — “On time…and under budget”, was the theme at the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony, held on a beautiful, April day at the site of the new Administration and Public Safety Complex at 901 Wellington Avenue in Elk Grove Village. The new 106,000 square foot facility was constructed and managed by MTI Construction Services, LLC and designed by SRBL Architects. The $28 million facility will allow Elk Grove Village to consolidate their village operations, administration, police, and fire administration under one roof. Mayor Craig Johnson and other village officials were in attendance, along with several local dignitaries to tour the newly constructed facility. As requested by the Mayor and Village Officials, the project was delivered on time and not just on budget, but well below the original $31 million budget.
The building is the first village hall in the state of Illinois to be designed to meet specifications required to apply for LEED Gold certification. The Leadership in Energy and Environment Design Green Building Rating System is a national program for building construction through the U.S. Green Building Council. The 2-story complex includes an underground parking garage for village and police squad vehicles, energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems, and a green LiveRoof[1] which provides better roof water absorption and reduces the amount of storm water runoff, as well as providing many other environmental and aesthetical benefits.
MTI is a 97-year old design build general contractor and professional construction management firm specializing in commercial, industrial, and municipal construction projects.
