MetroConnects breaks ground on new campus headquarters
November 19, 2024
DP3 Architects joined MetroConnects and community leaders yesterday to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new MetroConnects Campus Headquarters. The state-of-the-art facility marks a significant milestone in advancing infrastructure and services in the region.
Over the past three years, MetroConnects has seen its service area and staff double following the regionalization of seven wastewater collection systems in Greenville County. Now serving more than 100,000 customers and maintaining 1,500 miles of infrastructure, the organization’s growth has created a need for more space.
The new headquarters is designed to support MetroConnects’ mission of providing innovative, sustainable wastewater management. The new campus includes the administration building, an operations and maintenance facility, and additional covered storage.
“The new campus will increase our efficiency by bringing all services, operations, and equipment together in one location,” said Carol Elliot, General Manager of MetroConnects. “We look forward to continuing our commitment to Greenville County, serving an expanding community, and meeting the needs of the future.”
Located at 1151 W. Butler Road in Mauldin, SC, the new campus will serve as the hub for MetroConnects’ operations and community outreach initiatives. JLL is serving as the Project Manager, ensuring a smooth and efficient delivery of the project, while Vannoy Construction is managing the construction. The campus is expected to be completed by spring 2026.
“We are thrilled to partner with MetroConnects to design a headquarters that reflects their dedication to innovation and the community,” said principal, Meg Terry. “This campus will provide a foundation for their essential work for years to come.”
The new MetroConnects Campus Headquarters represents a forward-thinking approach to meeting the region’s growing needs while maintaining a commitment to sustainable practices.
