Deloitte to Build $300 Million Campus July 1, 2008 (SmartPros) Accounting firm Deloitte LLP announced that it will invest approximately $300 million in the creation of a 107-acre learning and leadership development center in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area in Westlake, Texas. Construction will begin in 2009 and the center is expected to open in 2011. The 750,000-square-foot campus will serve as a central destination for all of Deloitte's talent, including everyone from new hires to senior leadership to partners, principals and directors. "We expect this facility to become the heart of our organization -- the place where we meet, learn and develop our next generation of leaders," said Barry Salzberg, chief executive officer, Deloitte LLP. The campus will have 800 guest rooms, conference spaces, and classrooms. The facility will also feature dining venues, a ballroom, a business center, recreational facilities and a fitness center. The campus will be constructed according to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards established by the U.S. Green Building Council. In addition to the direct benefit for Deloitte and its people, the facility is expected to provide economic benefits to Westlake and the Dallas/Fort Worth region. |
