In April, 2012, Bridgestone Americas, Inc. officially opened its $100 million technical center in Akron, Ohio. SōL Harris/Day Architecture’s design for this 265,000 square foot research laboratory earned the building LEED® Gold certification. Contributing to this certification was the large Floorometry® entrance flooring system by Construction Specialties. Steps to improve indoor air quality in a LEED® certified building include installing permanent entrance grilles at all major entryways to trap dirt and debris at the front door, thereby cutting down on airborne particulate. Floorometry 101 with triangular geometry not only met the LEED® criteria, contributing to the gold certification, but did so with unique style. Launched in 2010, the Floorometry line was created based upon suggestions from dozens of architects and designers. A desire for a broader variety of materials and design choices, along with a departure from the linear look of standard entrance flooring, was communicated, as well as the wish for a fresh product for use in lobbies and vestibules of high-end buildings. The 18” x 18” modular units install like tile and can easily be removed for cleaning beneath the panel’s top surface. It is not necessary to shut down the entire entrance in order to roll back a large mat or pull up a grid section. The convenience offered by this detachable top surface ensures that the dirt effectively picked up at the entrance can easily be removed from the recess. Construction Specialties is proud to be a part of this prestigious project. In addition to meeting the architect’s vision for the first impression of the new facility and contributing to the LEED® gold certification, the Floorometry installation will help reduce maintenance costs for years to come.

In April, 2012, Bridgestone Americas, Inc. o�cially opened its
$100 million technical center in Akron, Ohio. SōL Harris/Day
Architecture’s design for this 265,000 square foot research
laboratory earned the building LEED® Gold certi�cation.
Contributing to this certi�cation was the large Floorometry®
entrance �ooring system by Construction Specialties. Steps to
improve indoor air quality in a LEED® certi�ed building include installing permanent
entrance grilles at all major entryways to trap dirt and debris at the front door,
thereby cutting down on airborne particulate.
Floorometry 101 with triangular geometry not only met the LEED® criteria,
contributing to the gold certi�cation, but did so with unique style. Launched in
2010, the Floorometry line was created based upon suggestions from dozens of
architects and designers. A desire for a broader variety of materials and design
choices, along with a departure from the linear look of standard entrance �ooring,
was communicated, as well as the wish for a fresh product for use in lobbies and
vestibules of high-end buildings.
The 18” x 18” modular units install like tile and can easily be removed for cleaning
beneath the panel’s top surface. It is not necessary to shut down the entire entrance
in order to roll back a large mat or pull up a grid section. The convenience o�ered by
this detachable top surface ensures that the dirt e�ectively picked up at the entrance
can easily be removed from the recess.
Construction Specialties is proud to be a part of this prestigious project. In addition to
meeting the architect’s vision for the �rst impression of the new facility and
contributing to the LEED® gold certi�cation, the Floorometry installation will help
reduce maintenance costs for years to come.
