O'Brien360 provided LEED® project management and LEED contractor assistance to the Alaska Airlines Copper River - Phase 1 project, located in SeaTac, Washington. The LEED v4 New Construction project is situated on a larger 7-acre site that will be the home to future phases of Alaska Airlines’ expanded corporate campus. The LEED Silver certified project included the 6-story office tower with approximately 120,000 gross square feet of conditioned area, including an Integrated Operations Center (IOC), “the nerve center of operations for the airline”, on the top floor, and a training and recruiting center on the ground floor.

The project reflects the owner's guiding principles in the building design, with a focus on people, culture, and sustainability. A typical office floor will have a central gathering space in the middle of the building with larger meeting rooms throughout, connecting stairs, and pantries on most floors. Focused work areas are located in each wing with individual workspaces toward the perimeter to maximize light and access to views. Core elements, including exit stairs, will be concentrated in the middle or the ends of the building to maximize the flexible work area.
