| Halliburton's General Office Building in Bakersfield, Calif. designed and built by Klassen Corporation. |
When Halliburton was looking for an architecture firm to consolidate operations into their expansive property at Seventh Standard Road in Bakersfield, they turned to Klassen Corporation. And what they learned during the master-planning process was Klassen Corporation was the solid choice to both design and build their new facilities. The project is organized into six (6) phases of construction located on 40 acres of property. The Consolidation project will total more than 140,000 s.f. of buildings when completed.
Phase 1: Master PlanningThe first phase of the consolidation project includes master planning of the site, providing all infrastructure and utilities for the entire complex. The first buildings developed on the property are a 38,000 s.f. shop designed to function as a repair facility for two Halliburton product service lines. This single-story, pre-engineered structure will include (13) service bays.
Phase 2: General Office Building
The second phase of the project consists of a 51,000 s.f. office building which serves as the centerpiece to the entire project. The building includes offices and cubicles for over 100 employees, an expandable training center seating up to 300 persons, locker rooms, and several conference rooms. "The facility utilizes state-of-the-art mechanical systems saving 27 percent more energy than required by California Energy Codes," said Robert Blair, Director of Architecture for Klassen Corporation. Day-lighting is maximized with transparent walls and clerestory glazing. The building entrance features decorative block walls and planters utilized as an attractive safety feature to keep vehicles from penetrating the structure.
