Campbell Soup’s Employee Services Building: Camden, New Jersey

The Campbell Soup Company has been headquartered in Camden, New Jersey since 1869 and is in the midst of a $72 million upgrade to its corporate campus that is also part of an overall redevelopment of Camden’s Gateway District. Part of that effort includes a new 100,000-square-foot, employee services building designed by Philadelphia-based KlingStubbins. The project, which should break ground shortly, intends to seek an unspecified level of LEED certification and will serve as a gateway into the rest of the Campbell campus. A glass curtain wall allows natural light to flood the building’s lobby, as well as employee spaces on both the first and second floors. The remainder of the building is clad in brick with colored glass interspersed throughout. The building will also be connected to others in the campus, which allowed KlingStubbins to also include a landscaped courtyard as part of its design program. Green features will be LEED-standard, including recycled-content construction materials and efficient building systems. The project team also includes Red Bank, New Jersey-based general contractor Torcon.
