A successful building start to
AWL-Techniek’s new premises
THE highest point of AWL’s new building
was marked by the placing of a flag. The
construction, which is an extension to the
existing AWL building, is approximately
1,800m2 in size, consists of three floors and
sits in the courtyard between the existing
industrial buildings.
The new building is necessary to cope
with AWL’s continuing growth. 2010 was
a very good year for
the organisation. As a
result, the workforce
has increased from
160 to nearly 200 over
the past two years and
the end is not in sight.
2011 and beyond also
look very promising.
MechDes Engineering
from Nunspeet – with
37 engineers – will
also find shelter in the
new building.
MechDes and AWL work closely together
in developing projects and the move will
only increase this cooperation, enabling it
to run more smoothly and increase personal
involvement.
The new building can accommodate
more than 90 employees in total and
provides growth space for the rest of the
buildings.
In addition, there are three well-
equipped meeting and training rooms,
which are furnished with the most modern
means of communication, something that
will also be installed in the meeting rooms
of the existing building.
International business meetings and
consultations will therefore be held more
efficiently. It will be a high-end office block
that meets the requirements of the modern
workplace; an important principle here being
to create a good and pleasant working
environment. There will also be computer
floors and the availability of Wi-Fi access to
which customers can connect.
The design for the new building was
drawn up by Office for Building Consultancy
and Design Next in Alphen a/d Rijn. It is
expected that the building will be ready for
use in early 2012.
