Owner

Assurant, Inc.

Assurant, Inc. is an international company that provides online transaction security and insurance products. Its Rapid City offices are located in two buildings: The Annex is a two-story, historic building, while the Tower is six stories, for a total of 67,000 sf.

When a tenant vacated three floors of the Tower, Assurant was enabled to expand. Chamberlin prepared a space study to determine the maximum occupant load of the Tower and a space plan laying out executive offices, department offices, open cubicle areas, meeting rooms, break rooms, a public consultation room, and a quiet room. The construction that followed was completed in three phases to minimize disruption to ongoing operations. The restroom remodels were staggered so that every other floor always had functional restrooms.

The Tower was provided with all new finishes, lighting, mechanical ductwork, and data cabling. Tech­nology was designed to allow high security data sharing between branch offices and central servers. Meeting rooms were equipped with large video monitors, cameras, and a cabinet wall to hide equipment and provide cable management.
