The Sterman Masser Family of Companies Headquarters represents a landmark achievement in sustainable design, innovative construction, and corporate stewardship. Developed through a collaborative Design-Build partnership, the 22,000+ square-foot facility was envisioned as more than a corporate office—it was designed to serve as a physical embodiment of Sterman Masser’s core values of sustainability, community engagement, innovation, and agricultural heritage.

The project presented unique challenges from the outset. Sterman Masser selected a former coal dump site for its new headquarters, requiring extensive environmental remediation and strategic site planning before construction could begin. Mowery’s integrated Design-Build team successfully transformed the underutilized property into a modern, high-performance campus that reflects the company’s commitment to responsible growth and environmental stewardship. Through careful coordination and proactive problem-solving, the team navigated the complexities of site redevelopment while maintaining the project’s sustainability goals and long-term vision.

Collaboration was central to the project’s success. Working alongside Warehaus Architects and Lorax Partnerships, Mowery guided the project from concept through completion, integrating advanced building systems, high-performance materials, and occupant-focused design solutions. The resulting headquarters provides a healthy, flexible work environment that supports employee well-being, encourages collaboration, and positions the company for future growth.
Sustainability was a driving force throughout the design and construction process. The facility achieved LEED certification and incorporates a state-of-the-art geothermal HVAC system that significantly improves energy efficiency while reducing the building’s environmental impact. Additional sustainable features include a 30% reduction in water consumption and the diversion of 45% of construction waste from landfills during construction. These measures demonstrate a holistic approach to environmental responsibility while creating long-term operational benefits for the owner.

Beyond its sustainability achievements, the headquarters serves as a symbol of rural revitalization and forward-thinking corporate development. The building successfully balances innovation with tradition, honoring Sterman Masser’s agricultural roots while providing the modern infrastructure necessary to support evolving business needs. Flexible workspaces, advanced building technologies, and thoughtfully designed gathering areas create an inspiring environment that fosters productivity, collaboration, and employee engagement.

Today, the Sterman Masser Family of Companies Headquarters stands as a model for responsible corporate growth and sustainable business practices. By transforming a challenging site into a vibrant, energy-efficient workplace, the project demonstrates how thoughtful design, innovative construction, and a shared vision can create lasting value for both an organization and the community it serves. The facility not only meets the company’s operational needs today but also provides the scalable infrastructure and enduring foundation necessary for generations of future success.
