Springs Window Fashions, a leader in window treatments since 1939 and a pillar in the Middleton community is undergoing a multi-million dollar building renovation to its headquarters. Built in 1964, the facility is home to more than 500 employees and includes a 400,000 square-foot manufacturing/finishing plant. The renovation, which is expected to last approximately one year, will be led by local design and construction firms, OPN Architects and Ideal Builders.

Among changes to the facility will be the complete redesign of the corporate headquarters, a new state-of-the-art training facility and an on-site fitness center. The training center will host customers and sales representatives who receive continuing education by Springs Window Fashions. The center will feature hands-on training across a large range of products and brands. ”Starting with elements of the existing building’s midcentury aesthetic, the new design will reinforce the original architecture with a clean, contemporary exterior design and composition,” stated Wesley Reynolds, Principal, OPN Architects. “Embracing natural light throughout the project was a priority by the entire team. Exterior solid walls are being replaced with full height windows, interior walls have been minimized to promote views to the outdoors, and skylights are being installed in centralized open office areas to provide access to daylight. We have designed a space that will enhance everyone’s daily work life.”
