Orsted’s 60,000 sq. ft. renovation of the Research Way facility supports New York State’s offshore wind industry, providing essential resources for marine coordination, site management, and parts storage. Located on Long Island, this multi-purpose facility will serve as a hub for regional offshore wind operations, advancing clean energy infrastructure with a commitment to sustainability and targeting LEED certification.
The phased construction approach allowed for temporary building use while upgrading office, warehouse, conference and data center spaces. Key enhancements include new computer room air conditioning (CRAC) and rooftop air handling units (AHUs), a parallel 300 Amp electrical service, a 750KVA diesel generator for emergency power and nine EV charging stations. Additional work included energy-efficient LED lighting, VRF and gas-fired heating units, elevator modernization, HVAC upgrades, new plumbing, and reinforced slabs for warehouse racking. Site improvements also included full window replacement, selective roof upgrades, and a repaved, secured parking lot with updated access control.
