The Duke Endowment Headquarters

The Duke Endowment constructed a new 46,000 SF three-story headquarters building on East Morehead Street in Charlotte, North Carolina. Bolton & Menk provided landscape architecture services for the new building. The office provides additional space for this historic philanthropic organization to grow. The building houses separate offices for staff, a large conference room, and a multipurpose room. The building is served by an underground parking garage covered with a courtyard at the back of the building. The courtyard is highlighted by an infinity-edge reflecting pool surrounded by hardscape and planting. The courtyard is designed for several different arrangements of tents to accommodate a variety of outdoor functions. A motor court at the front of the building provides for valet drop-off/parking and a fountain at the corner of the property provides a focal element for the main entrance.
