Southern Environmental Law Center

Regional Headquarters

The Southern Environmental Law Center’s new regional headquarters in Charlottesville, Virginia, is a thoughtfully designed office space occupying the entire fourth floor of a recently constructed mass timber building. This 27,000-square-foot space showcases the building's primary structural elements, such as mass timber columns, ceilings, and concrete floor slabs, to create a modern and low-maintenance environment. The interior design emphasizes open, collaborative workspaces, with flexible layouts to support teamwork and future growth. Additionally, the headquarters includes several well-equipped conference rooms, informal meeting areas, and amenities like bike storage and shower facilities to promote a healthy work-life balance for employees.
