The Baltimore Chapter of the Associated Builders & Contractors gave the developer a Merit Award for another project, the interior fit-out for the corporate offices of[Firaxis Games](http://www.firaxis.com/). Schilling Green is a [Class A office building](http://www.merrittproperties.com/PropertyDetail/MD/Hunt_Valley/Schilling_Green/SC10) located at 230 Schilling Circle in Hunt Valley. As part of its long-standing commitment to environmentally responsible construction, Merritt undertook a major redevelopment of the building in 2008, resulting in a registered LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) project pursuing Platinum certification – the first of its kind along the I-83 corridor. LEED is the industry standard for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. [Firaxis Games](http://www.firaxis.com) is a leading game developer originally headquartered in Hunt Valley. For their new corporate offices in Sparks, the company wanted space that reflected a culture based on imagination and play and included asymmetrical walls and spaces, floating ceilings, hand-crafted oversized doors, fitness studio and employee break room with kitchen, seating and gaming area. The project, at 10 Loveton Circle in Sparks, was built out by [Merritt](http://www.merrittproperties.com) and designed by [Arris](http://www.arrisdesign.com/), a Design Studio. A challenging demolition and construction project, involving simultaneous exterior and interior work and a quick turnaround, was completed on time and on budget in September 2009. # About Us - [Overview](http://www.merrittproperties.com/about) - [History](http://www.merrittproperties.com/about/history) - [Leadership](http://www.merrittproperties.com/about/leadership) - [Teams](http://www.merrittproperties.com/about/teams) - [Charitable Programs](http://www.merrittproperties.com/about/charitable-programs) - [Newsroom](http://www.merrittproperties.com/newsroom/news) - [News](http://www.merrittproperties.com/newsroom/news) - [Press Releases](http://www.merrittproperties.com/newsroom/press) - [Blog](https://merrittproperties.hs-sites.com/blog) - [Awards](http://www.merrittproperties.com/about/awards) - [Testimonials](http://www.merrittproperties.com/about/testimonials) #### Merritt has been like family to us.
