Panduit Corporation, a developer and provider of leading-edge solutions that help customers optimize the physical infrastructure through simplification, agility and operational efficiency has opened new world headquarters building in suburban Chicago.

Officials with Panduit Corporation said that the building, which incorporates the company's Unified Physical Infrastructure(SM) (UPI) approach, represents a dramatic leap forward in collaboration, smart and healthy work environments, energy reduction, and cost savings.

According to company officials, the UPI approach delivers optimal efficiency without sacrificing effectiveness - significantly reducing capital and operational expenses in buildings while enhancing productivity, safety, reliability, and sustainability.

'Panduit's new world headquarters brings to life our vision for creating environmentally sustainable and healthy places to work,' said John Caveney, CEO, in a statement. 

"We set out with a mission to create the 'building of the future,' and we feel we've set a new precedent by combining state-of-the-art visibility and control for all critical building systems, sustainable energy, operational cost savings and intelligent design features − all aligned under a single unified infrastructure,' said Caveney.

Company officials said that the five-story building comprises 280,000 square feet of office, conferencing and training space, enabling collaboration through open office concepts, shared work spaces, and the deployment of the latest technologies to connect internal and external employees, partners and customers. 

The space will initially serve 550 employees and is able to accommodate a total of 800. The company in total now employs over 4,000 people globally. The world headquarters is an important step in the evolution of Panduit, providing a proof of concept for UPI that demonstrates intelligent design, implementation and management of unified systems and building architecture. 

The new building, company officials said, reflects Panduit's transformation and commitment to solving customer and industry challenges surrounding business continuity, security, agility, and rising costs.
