Hartford’s JCJ Architecture will relocate to the Coltsville East Armory Building – the historic former home to Colt Fire Arms. The firm will renovate and occupy an 18,000 square-foot loft in the 1887 structure, becoming one of the most significant tenants at the complex.
Located directly under the Colt Blue Onion Dome, the space will blend original materials and historic building features with contemporary design concepts and integrated technology. JCJ said in a statement it plans to build an open office that promotes collaboration and creativity among its employees.
JCJ’s new office is expected to achieve LEED Silver status and the firm anticipates it will be the first WELL Certified interior space in New England. JCJ’s move is scheduled for later this month.
The firm is relocating from 38 Prospect St., next to The Hartford Club. UConn bought the property and plans to move its business school there. Founded in 1936, JCJ is headquartered in Hartford with offices in Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, Phoenix and San Diego.
