Starting in early 2005, Aerzen USA began developing plans to build a new office and manufacturing space. The eco-friendly "Green" building started to take shape.

Today the building is completed and will be officially dedicated April 25, 2008.

The building features:
- Day-lighting
- Pervious paving, infiltration beds and rain gardens
- Beams made from recycled wood
- Concrete with 40% recycled content
- Plastered straw-bale walls
- Re-used office furniture
- "Wild Meadow" landscaping vs. manicured lawns
- "Earth Tubes" that condition some of the air underground
Aerzen USA is working to achieve a Gold LEED® standard for the building. This will be one of the first Green manufacturing building in the state of Pennsylvania.
