Responding to business and population expansion in the Carolinas, Haskell has relocated its growing Charlotte, North Carolina, office to the strategically located Red Oak Office Park.

Haskell established its office in Charlotte in 2014 with the acquisition of FreemanWhite, a Healthcare design practice with more than 100 years in the region. The office remains the company’s Center of Excellence for its Healthcare Design, Consulting and Construction divisions.

Haskell’s Healthcare Design Division as a part of Haskell’s Design & Consulting Services group has over 225 dedicated professionals committed to driving transformative change in healthcare design, recognizing the critical role these spaces play in patient care and healing.

Haskell’s Charlotte office has grown to serve other markets, with a diverse group of design and construction professionals working on client projects across the U.S.

The most significant expansion has been in the manufacturing, water/wastewater and municipal/education sectors – with the former driving the latter two, said Charlie Rocheleau, Regional Vice President, Planning & Development, who leads the Charlotte office. He added that the office had grown by 50% to more than 60 team members since he arrived in 2021.

“We’ve continued to grow our construction resources,” Rocheleau said. “This is all in response to the manufacturing growth in the Carolinas. There has been tremendous population growth, and with additional people comes the need for schools and water.”

The following are some ongoing or recently completed projects out of the Charlotte office:

• Charlotte Water Mount Holly Pump Station and Force Mains, Mount Holly, NC. Progressive design-build, $236 million. The project consists of a pump station and dual force mains under the Catawba River to convey Mount Holly sewage flows to the new Charlotte Water Stowe Regional Water Resource Recovery Facility (RWRRF). The project also includes infrastructure on the Charlotte side, including new Stowe RWRRF headworks and influent pump station, Storm Equalization pump station, 18 mg equalization basin, emergency generator facility, and preliminary treatment force mains under Long Creek.
• Triangle Innovation Point (TIP) Water and Sewer Improvements, Sanford, NC. CMAR, $116.5 million. The city needed water and sewer improvements to its existing structures. The project was delivered in two phases of design and construction, including horizontal and sewer mains – both gravity and force, multiple sewer lifts at various locations within the city, rail crossings, river crossings and water pump stations. The improvements will support the new VinFast Electrical Vehicle facility to be constructed outside Raleigh.
• Greensboro Mitchell Water Treatment Plant. CMAR to gain efficiency by combining two projects into one. CDM Smith and HDR are selected to design separate components, with many aspects overlapping. The scope includes a variety of improvements to plants to improve residuals and a new advanced treatment facility for emerging contaminants.
• American Leadership Academy (ALA), Lexington, South Carolina. Progressive Design Build., $37.5 million, 145,000 square feet (SF). This is a K-12 campus including a 75,000 SF, 900-student building with a two-story combined classroom and gymnasium building and another 70,000 SF, 900-student building on approximately 34 acres.
• Jubilee Charter School and Preschool, Hardeeville, SC. Design-build, $43.2 million, approximately 80,000 SF. Haskell was selected to design and construct both a temporary preschool and K-12 campus as well as a permanent preschool and K-12 campus, all within a master-planned future residential development.
• Henderson County Courthouse, Henderson, NC. CMAR. Haskell, in partnership with Cooper Construction, was selected to expand the detention center and build a new Courthouse for Henderson County.
