IMC completed construction of the new headquarters for Sunoco. Located on the Ellis Preserve in Newtown Square, Pa., the project involved renovation of 220,000 SF of existing space and a 20,000-SF addition to create the new headquarters for Sunoco and Sunoco Logistics.

Numerous atriums and over 3,000 linear feet of interior glass partitions allow for an abundance of natural light for employees. Over 50,000 SF of ceiling clouds provide a modern aesthetic while dampening sound in the open office areas. The exterior façade was reclad with a “piano key” curtain wall for a dramatic lobby.

IMC Project Director Jeff Norris volunteered at his grandson’s school to teach the class about construction. The fourth grade class reviewed drawings, tried on safety gear, and learned how geometry is applied in the construction industry. Students were very engaged and enjoyed the hands-on presentation and even asked if they could keep the drawings.

Robert Cottone served as the panel moderator for the Future of the ‘Burbs in Philadelphia, hosted by Bisnow. Panelists discussed their views of the current commercial real estate market surrounding Center City, Philadelphia. Panelists were fairly optimistic and continue to invest in the region as a whole.

The new 45,000-SF school serves over 225 students from infant care to eighth grade. The new school was designed by KSS Architects to meet LEED Silver standards and includes rain gardens for stormwater management, electric vehicle charging stations, and a full solar array that produces over 90 percent of the facility’s energy. The campus expansion included 17 acres with additional space for new soccer and baseball athletic fields and new playgrounds. School amenities include classrooms with flexible walls for breakout, study rooms, science labs, a modern library, gymnasium with full-size basketball court, full-service kitchen, dining areas, art studio, theater, offices, and a conference center.

The competition was tough this year with so many creative costumes, which resulted in a tie for first place. IMC’s Halloween parade was followed by a pot luck lunch where everyone was a winner.
