UGI Utilities, Inc. Headquarters
Location: Denver, Pennsylvania
Bernardon provided architecture and interior design services
for an 80,000 SF, three-story corporate headquarters building for
UGI Utilities, Inc. in rural Lancaster County.
The 12-acre site mixes external visibility from major circulation
paths with internal views of vegetation. Employing a linear
embrace of the landscape allows the building to achieve the
balance of presence and privacy, framing views to nature while
shielding occupants from the activity of the surrounding
highways. The building is composed of simple brick masses
woven together by contemporary glass elements, highlighting
a traditional organization moving forward with advances in
technology. This rhythm creates a streetscape-like appearance
that reduces the scale of an otherwise large building.
The concept of a streetscape is then carried through to
the interior. In order to create connection and help foster
collaboration, UGI’s departments and employees are linked by an
internal street known as “Innovation Alley” that brings people
and ideas together. From all parts of the building, this street leads
to Central Park, which provides abundant views to nature as a
backdrop to the interactive hub of a company embracing a new,
brighter future.
