The construction of new headquarters for Novus International Inc. broke ground at Missouri Research Park in St. Charles, MO last week. The producer of animal nutrition and health products says its expanded headquarters adheres to sustainable design.
“Novus believes in creating environmentally sound, sustainable programs that enable health through nutrition for people and animals.” explained Thad Simons, President and Chief Executive Officer of Novus International, Inc. “Delivering on the Novus vision ‘To help feed the world affordable, wholesome food’ becomes possible when we look at each of our programs as a way to improve our business and world simultaneously. The Novus global headquarters will be our symbol to the world and an expression of our sustainable efforts.”
Recognized as a leader in the animal health and nutrition industry, Novus is expanding their current research facility with a $20 million investment. When complete, the 90,000 square foot structure will consolidate Novus’s headquarters and the Novus International Research Center. The structure is being designed within the environmentally-focused framework of the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
Designed by Forum Studio, Inc. and Clayco, the St. Louis areas premier construction company, the global headquarters will accommodate many established and forward-thinking elements of sustainable design and construction.
