MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENTS:
SKANEATELES, N.Y. – “Medical manufacturer Welch Allyn has completed its global headquarters
expansion and renovation project. The company unveiled the new LEED Gold certified building
headquarters on State Street Road in Skaneateles on Monday. The $35 million project took
nearly four years to complete.
The LEED certification is awarded to buildings that are environmentally responsible. The new
headquarters gets 35 percent of its energy from renewable resources and reduces water usage
by 25 percent.
CEO Julie Shimer says project was about much more than helping out Mother Nature.
“It’s not just the environmental, but it includes the environment. It is a company that cares
about its employees, about its customers and about its community and I’m proud to be a part of
it,” Shimer said.
Eighty percent of the projects construction debris was recycled and 20 percent of building
materials used were recycled.” Written by YNNCNY web staff.
