SusGlobal Energy Headquarters Addition & Renovation

Hamilton, ON

ZAS Architects was retained by SusGlobal Energy to retrofit and expand on their Hamilton location designed to produce, distribute and warehouse the Company’s SusGro™ and other organic liquid fertilizer products. With the addition of a further 11,000 square feet of office space and Research & Development labs, the Hamilton facility will also house the continued development of SusGlobal’s proprietary formulations and branded liquid and dry organic fertilizers.

SusGlobal’s new facility provides an opportunity to rethink how we approach the design of sustainable waste management facilities as integral sites in our city landscape. Guided by a strategy of healthy and resilient building design, the architecture converts a former industrial warehouse into a light-filled, inspiring workplace that will be welcoming to visitors, educators and the next generation of innovators. In our design we intentionally retained and highlighted elements of the existing building structure, such as the warehouse tower’s steel beams, so they stand in parallel with SusGlobal’s ethos as a leading driver in the circular economy.
