IMCO General Construction's office building and headquarters in Ferndale got LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

The building was finished in 2010 and is owned by Patti and Frank Imhof, owners and founders of IMCO General Construction. The firm specializes in energy, industrial, marine infrastructure, water, wastewater and transportation construction.

Axiom Design Build of Seattle designed and built the project, with architect John Cashman and interior designer Heather Cashman.

IMCO said heating and ventilation systems were designed for optimal energy performance and air quality. A 16,000-gallon cistern was installed underground to capture rainwater for irrigation.

The design makes use of daylight and views. Reclaimed local materials were used throughout.

The building also has a gym.

The project team included landscape architects from The Philbin Group, civil engineer Jeff Vander Yacht from Pacific Surveying and Engineering, structural engineer Mike Annee from PAO Structural Engineering, mechanical engineers from Berona Engineers, and lighting designer Jim Sultan from Studio Lux.
