On June 23rd, 2008 Litton East Partners broke ground on a building that will be come the new headquarters and corporate offices for AJA Video. The new 44,590 square foot office building rests on 4.6 acres on the south side of Litton Drive. Gray Construction was selected by Litton East Partners, as the general contractor this new headquarter building.
When completed in August 2009, AJA Video’s corporate, administrative and sales functions will occupy approximately 29,500 square feet of space, with the remaining 15,090 square feet of space being designated for manufacturing and warehouse operations complete with loading docks.
The building will incorporate “green building” elements, including dual glazing low-E tint windows, sun shades, the use of “Greenscreen” modular panels, and the provision for rooftop solar panels. The overall site plan incorporates a new main entrance off Litton Drive, 167 parking spaces, and extensive landscaping and open space, including a connection to the local trail system. The main entrance to the building will be set off by a stucco fascia and entry canopy.
At a time when the local economy is struggling this good news for the community. News that has gone unreported in the newspapers, or on local radio stations. It is not a stealth project and should be recognized that Western Nevada County's applied technology cluster is growing even in a down economy. Once this expansion is complete and companion engineering build is built next door, AJA work force will expand by 45 to 50 people, many of the new employees will be highly paid engineers. This is good news for our local economy and should be celebrated by everyone.
