Rayconnect Industrial Building – Certified LEED Gold
Rochester Hills, MI
Project Description:
This project consisted of the construction of a 51,551 square feet
industrial building on 8.9 acres along Devondale Road and Austin
Avenue in Rochester Hills, Michigan. The project entailed an extension of
Austin Avenue to service the site, storm water detention, sanitary sewer
service, a public water main extension, landscaping and wetland
management. The project is LEED Certified at the gold level and was
designed with numerous sustainable techniques such as the
implementation of a sophisticated rainwater harvesting system that
irrigates prominent landscape areas with captured rain water.
Rayconnect is the first LEED gold project in Rochester Hills and only the
second industrial building in the State of Michigan to be certified at the
gold level.
Services Provided:
PEA provided the site plans for approval from the City as well as the
topographic survey, wetland plans, landscape design and detailed
engineering construction plans for all the site work. Our services also
included assisting the owner in obtaining all site work permits. The site
stormwater management system consists of a detention system that is
sized to accommodate a 25-year rain event, a bio-swale, and filtered
stormwater run-off to the existing on-site wetlands. PEA also provided
the site and landscape LEED certification submittal design and
documentation.
