Aardex LLC is a vertically integrated design-build firm. We are committed to the built environment; reflecting the highest standards in sustainability.

Founded in 1983 by CEO Rick Butler, the company most recently completed the Signature Centre at Denver West, Colorado’s first commercial LEED Platinum building. Signature Centre was also 2007’s largest speculative Platinum project in the country.

The company’s primary mission is to design structures that improve worker productivity.

Building features include individual temperature and ventilation control through underfloor air delivery systems. Other elements include harvested natural light, indoor pollution controls and acoustic privacy.

A healthy workplace pays dividends to the bottom line of business; creating positive impacts in absenteeism, and reducing hiring and re-training costs to name just a few of the benefits.

In 2004, Mr. Butler authored the book User Effective® Buildings, an innovative approach to building structures that contribute to improved human performance. Strategies in healthcare development and build-to-suit quickly followed and the company had tripled in size by 2007.

Aardex currently has projects in four states including Muskogee Community Hospital in Oklahoma, which promises to be the nation’s first ground source geothermal hospital as well as one of the first LEED Gold hospitals in the country.
