Brasfield & Gorrie’s newly opened IT center is one phase in an ongoing renovation and expansion of the company’s headquarters.

Birmingham-based Brasfield & Gorrie opened a new IT center recently, part of an ongoing plan to renovate and expand the general contractor’s headquarters.

Attendees mingle at the open house for the IT center.

The overall campus renovation and expansion, a $17 million investment, will bring 140 new jobs to Birmingham and will create 105,000 square feet of new and renovated office space.

“We have been headquartered in Birmingham for more than 54 years, and we want to continue growing here,” said Brasfield & Gorrie CEO Jim Gorrie. “The opening of our new IT Center marks the completion of one phase of an ongoing plan to renovate and expand our headquarters to accommodate our company’s growth and create engaging work environments to foster collaboration and innovation. These changes will establish more of a campus feel for our headquarters while honoring and preserving the rich character of the Lakeview community, and will also enable us to create many new jobs that will provide an economic boost to the area.”

These changes will impact five buildings over two to three years.
