RSH Architects was retained by the Regional Industrial Development Corporation (RIDC) of Southwestern Pennsylvania to design the new corporate headquarters of Dick's Clothing and Sporting Goods, which is now located on an eight acre site in RIDC Park West, a professional office park near the Pittsburgh International Airport.  

Since the tenant-specific facility was designed with anticipation of doubling its initial occupancy.  RSH Architects worked closely with facility management personnel at Dick's and with the staff at RIDC to provide two siting alternatives, one to provide efficient initial development and another to accommodate stated growth projections. 

The building is afforded a prominent position high above Route 60.  Its three story configuration maximizes the on-site parking areas while offering individual floor plates that work well with interior system furnishings. Prefabricated panels of fiberglass reinforced concrete offset the masonry exterior and articulate the façade.

A two-story glass atrium provides a grand entry to the building. While the building's first and second floors open directly into the atrium, they are protected by a deluge fire suppression system surrounding the atrium's perimeter. The building also features a central service core that contains elevators, restrooms, an egress stair, and primary distribution components of the building's mechanical and electrical systems.
