Tampa-A new, energy-efficient office building recently constructed for The Mosaic Co. near Tampa, Fla., centralized many of its employees in Florida at a single location for the first time since the company was formed, according to David Townsend, Mosaic spokesman. The 113,000 square-foot building was built according to Gold LEED standards for energy efficiency, and makes use of direct natural light, water conservation, and thermal comfort. It was constructed by Ryan Companies U.S. using low volatile organic compounds (VOC) and recycled construction materials. Townsend said it was located in the “emerging town center of Fishhawk Ranch” area of Hillsborough County. “This brings 400 employees together from different locations in Hillsborough and Polk counties under one roof,” Townsend said. “It improves team building by bringing administrative personnel together with the supply chain group.” He added an application for LEED certification had been submitted.
