Acergy has officially moved into its new, bespoke, multi-million pound campus in the prestigious Westhill Business Park on the outskirts of Aberdeen, Scotland.
While around 600 staff have made the move from the company's previous base at Bucksburn, Aberdeen, the new facility can house up to 800 employees. Since the contract with Stewart Milne construction was signed in late 2006, a highly successful recruitment campaign has increased the company's headcount by 25%.
The campus has been constructed with the environment in mind, incorporating energy saving features which include daylight and movement sensitive lighting controls, gray water harvesting, passive chilled beam cooling and a geothermal heat source system.
The 17-acre site features a modern office building on three levels and an extensive workshop area complete with an external yard. The office design centres around two impressive glass atriuma with a restaurant and coffee bar located within the 'heart' of the building.
Acergy is the first subsea company in Scotland to have its own leisure complex for the full use of its employees and families. They can enjoy the use of two squash courts, a multi-purpose gym, weights room and games hall capable of hosting a five-a-side football tournament and aerobic classes. As the hall has a significant seating capacity, it will also be used for all staff meetings and company events.
Graham Meil, Acergy Managing Director of Acergy UK Ltd and Deputy Regional Vice President of Northern Europe and Canada, said: "Our new facility is a fantastic campus and a world class engineering and operational centre for Acergy. Our staff are delighted with the new premises and I am confident it sends a clear message about the future of the company and our long-term investment in the industry and local economy.
"The new base will help us achieve our aim of delivering every project on time, within budget and give us the perfect environment to improve how we work. Moving into this facility is a major milestone and signals a positive future for all those."
