Oil Patch Bits: Crowley celebrates $8.5 million office renovation

Crowley Maritime Corp. said May 4 that corporation Chairman, President and CEO Tom Crowley along with elected area officials and business leaders gathered at the company’s corporate headquarters in Jacksonville, Fla., to commemorate the completion of Crowley’s office building renovation project as well as its United States Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Silver Award Designation. The Crowley building is only the second building in Jacksonville to attain the LEED Silver award for commercial interiors. With a total renovation and construction budget of $8.5 million, Crowley’s goal was to convert the five-story, 110,000 square-foot office building into an open office environment that would promote environmental sustainability, enhance teamwork and collaboration and reflect the company’s brand and culture. “We are very proud of our headquarters here in Jacksonville,” Crowley said.
