Paradigm Design

The Newaygo Community Business Center’s mission is to create a 21st century workplace. A business, cultural, and learning environment providing resources that allow members alternatives to traditional workplaces. In this facility members are able to conduct work activity while away from their office. This mixed use office/retail building is located in the heart of downtown Newaygo. The retail component is intended to promote downtown shopping and compliment the office functions on the upper level. The building also known as “The Stream” is the combined vision of the City of Newaygo and Haworth. It will serve as a learning environment where Haworth can test and study how individuals as well as teams work together and with their office environment, adjusting the surroundings to better compliment the users. The main street elevation of the building is intended to emulate the character of the historic downtown, while the river side of the building opens up allowing light in and views out. The interior finishes are environmentally friendly and the building has been submitted to the US Green Building Council for LEED Certification.
