BUSINESS: MADE IN LANCASTER

Get to know how ARMSTRONG WORLD INDUSTRIES
helped to impact how people experience 115 East
King Street.
The custom statement ceiling on our Business Center
floor- tapered, linear wood plank clouds painted in custom
platinum - is the first and only of its kind and an incredible
point of interest...a suspended conversation piece that
does double duty by helping to manage noise levels.
Throughout the rest of the building, there is a combination
of standard and large format Armstrong ceilings, which truly
impacts how people experience the space. The ceilings
also have Armstrong's Total Acoustic performance to help
reduce sound room to room and within a room, so office
neighbors can't hear each other through the walls and
corridor and common space distractions are minimized.
In conference rooms and meeting spaces, the ceilings
seamlessly integrate LED lighting and AV and mechanical
systems while maintaining nice clean design lines. The
executive conference room, on the top floor, changes up the
design rhythm with a taupe-colored ceiling solution called
Calla that has a smooth, refined appearance and noise
reducing and sound blocking performance.
"We are so pleased to be part of the newly
established 115 East King Street building in
bustling and burgeoning downtown Lancaster. I
am so impressed by what's been accomplished
here. The Chamber brought together so many local business
and community partners to transform what was a vacant
building into a magnificent symbol of what business and
community can do together," said Jennifer Johnson, director,
Corporate Communications, AWI.
When you think of construction, you think of the changes
you can see - from framed walls to a new façade. But, often
it's the part of construction that you can't see that plays an
integral role in giving a building life.

BEAUTIFICATION

With both the internal and external structures in place, it was
time to add the more visual elements that would bring 115
East King Street to life. Throughout January and February of
2017, a rainbow of colors could be seen covering the once
dull drywall, thanks to Two Dudes Painting Co; installers
from Certified Carpet could be seen laying the textured
carpet that weaved throughout the building with furniture
and lighting being positioned to create a welcoming and
casual environment.
