EVS has been settling into its new 22,000 square metre facility in Liege, Belgium for the past few months but it wasn't until this week that it really became a home. Local government officials and others came out to check out the new and expanded facility that not only gives EVS room to grow but also brings operations that were formerly spread out in different buildings up to a kilometer apart under one roof. The new building facilitates interaction between people and the sales, support, and R&D departments, says Nicolas Bourdon, EVS, SVP of marketing. That kind of exchange is part of our DNA but the configuration of the previous buildings could not allow it.
Philippe Prince, EVS facility manager, says that the previous operations were spread over three sites that were up to a kilometer apart and also seven buildings. Even when they were close to each other it was not convenient, especially if it was raining, says Prince.
The new building increases office and facility space three fold and also gives the company room to grow from approximately 330 employees on site today to more than 500. At the center of the building is a large atrium with three floors above ground and two floors below ground (plus a parking level). Most importantly there is plenty of flexibility with the space as it can be rearranged to create more office space or more space for training, production, or quality control.
Visitors to the building are greeted on the ground floor where an auditorium for about 75 people is located as well as six training rooms. The -1 level includes the production area, product support, hardware R&D, and system and hardware integration. The -2 level is where the warehouse is located as well as testing of up to 80 racks of EVS hardware.
It also meets the BREEAM (Building Research Establishing Environmental Assessment Method) standard for sustainable design that has become the de facto measurement for environmental friendliness.
That is no small accomplishment considering how much computing power is going on in a facility were dozens of EVS servers are constantly running in either a quality control, production, or test mode.
That is the biggest challenge regarding being green as we have engineers working here, says Prince.
Getting to that point includes the use of solar panels on the roof that can offset 5% of electrical needs. But the real trick was making use of the heat generated by three data centers located in the corners of the building as well as servers that are running in the production area, R&D, and training rooms.
With the heat from the servers we really don't need to heat the building, explains Prince. And the heating pump for hot water uses the warm air from the server rooms while the server rooms are cooled just with air flow of recycled cool air from the outside that can be chilled further by chilled water.
The building also features floor to ceiling glass on every floor that is above ground, resulting in a large amount of sunlight entering the building, something that also lowers the need for lighting and, in turn, electricity. And by simply having all of the departments under one roof the amount of energy (and time) spent moving equipment and people from one building to the next results in a more green operation.
EVS celebrated the opening of its new headquarters in Liege, Belgium, earlier this week.
