Whirlpool Benton Harbor Tech Center
From shipyards constructed in 1915 for the Dachel-Carter Boat Company, to a shuttered manufacturing facility named Plant 7, the barrel roofs at 151 Riverview Drive in Benton Harbor have endured. Today, their warmth and natural beauty are celebrated in Whirlpool’s state-of-the-art office / refrigeration laboratory. Integrated Architecture created space filled with natural light, clean air, and space for the human spirit at Whirlpool’s dynamic workspace. Phase I of the two-phase project focused on creating laboratories, testing facilities, building utilities, infrastructure, and exterior improvements. Phase II included engineering offices, the visitor lobby, and the balance of exterior improvements. The resulting environment includes stand-up meeting space for quick conversations, huddle rooms for small group work, and conference rooms for team meetings.
