A successful building start to AWL-Techniek’s new premises

THE highest point of AWL’s new building was marked by the placing of a flag. The construction, which is an extension to the existing AWL building, is approximately 1,800m 2 in size, consists of three floors and sits in the courtyard between the existing industrial buildings. The new building is necessary to cope with AWL’s continuing growth. 2010 was

MechDes and AWL work closely together in developing projects and the move will only increase this cooperation, enabling it to run more smoothly and increase personal involvement. The new building can accommodate more than 90 employees in total and provides growth space for the rest of the buildings.

In addition, there are three well- equipped meeting and training rooms, which are furnished with the most modern means of communication, something that will also be installed in the meeting rooms of the existing building. International business meetings and consultations will therefore be held more efficiently. It will be a high-end office block that meets the requirements of the modern workplace; an important principle here being to create a good and pleasant working environment. There will also be computer floors and the availability of Wi-Fi access to which customers can connect. The design for the new building was drawn up by Office for Building Consultancy and Design Next in Alphen a/d Rijn. It is expected that the building will be ready for use in early 2012.

a very good year for the organisation. As a result, the workforce has increased from 160 to nearly 200 over the past two years and the end is not in sight. 2011 and beyond also look very promising. MechDes Engineering from Nunspeet – with 37 engineers – will also find shelter in the new building.
