The site also has seven acres of wetlands, four ponds, five miles of jogging paths and over thirty acres of low maintenance turf. The client has also asked the contractor for other cost-saving ideas each year. One of the solutions they've come up with involves recycling all of the pruning debris on-site. Fall leaves are mulched into the turf and pruning debris is shredded and returned to the plant beds to breakdown. What little excess debris that does exist, is processed, composted and used as mulch in new planting areas.
Ameritech employees use the grounds extensively for jogging, walking and wildlife watching.
They also engage in team building exercises using a fitness circuit on the property as a sort of 'Outward Bound' experience. In other words, Ameritech Center is more than just a pretty campus. It is an integral part of their employee working environment, installed and maintained to stimulate their creative energies. The contractor is proud to be a part of this nurturing environment.
