Our Building

Since putting down roots at Bentzel’s Mill in rural York, Pennsylvania, we’ve grown exponentially, prompting a move to our new headquarters in downtown York. Our LEED Platinum-certified loft-style office building features an open floor plan with plenty of meeting and multifunctional space, allowing for easy team member collaboration, better traffic flow and room for the anticipated expansion of our team.

The space also features a fully equipped kitchen that allows us to prepare fresh meals for our monthly celebrations and host cooking classes and events.

What is a LEED Platinum-Certified Building?

As a Leadership in Energy and Environmental (LEED) Platinum-certified building, our office holds the highest standard of environmental sustainability.
Twenty-five percent of our building consists of recycled materials.
We use 11,000 fewer plastic water bottles per year and save 117,000 gallons of water annually.
Our restrooms emphasize the use of high-efficiency, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and the second-floor toilets are routed to large composting units that collect human waste and paper to create topsoil.
When the building was renovated, 96.77%, or 527 tons, of total construction waste was diverted from landfills.
Our lights are controlled using a daylight harvesting system that monitors the amount of light shining through the windows, automatically adjusting dimmers on light fixtures and raising and lowering window shades accordingly.
The wood roof decking, steel columns and girders, and wood flooring have been preserved to maintain their historic scars and character.

Downtown York

Situated at the entrance of York City’s central business district and adjacent to WellSpan Park, our employees are within walking distance to downtown amenities, including the York Central Market, numerous restaurants and Continental Square. This prime location allows us to patronize and support other local businesses.

Our office features a gym, bike racks and shower, allowing employees to remain active before, during and after the workday. During the warmer months, employees are encouraged to utilize the York Heritage Rail Trail, a hike-and-bike trail that runs parallel to our office. With a variety of dining options available within a few blocks, employees also can walk to grab lunch or a snack and enjoy the fresh air.
