A forward-thinking, multi-use facility for the nation’s top producer of cast iron and plastic pipe fittings

The Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Product Knowledge Training Facility is a purpose-built, 26,000-square-foot space that exemplifies thoughtful design and strategic coordination. Following the company’s decision to relocate its current training facility from the outskirts of Uptown to be closer to its headquarters in the heart of Myers Park, the two-story facility was constructed from the ground up, serving as a dynamic hub for training and events.

Empowering people through space: a facility built for progress

Designed to support both work and hospitality, this transformative building is tailored to meet the evolving needs of customers and employees, offering a state-of-the-art center for work, learning, and engagement. The facility features various upscale amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen, a dedicated training room, a spacious conference room, and a versatile warehouse area. An outdoor seating area provides additional room for various events, while sleek office spaces and expansive classrooms deliver environments to foster continuous advancement for company employees.

An intentional design crafted with character, rooted in heritage

This thoughtfully curated space ensures the facility unites company culture with operational needs. Intricate custom millwork mimics the look and feel of other Charlotte Pipe and Foundry buildings, and a striking bar detailed with the company’s own cast iron pipes pays tribute to the brand’s heritage and craftsmanship.

Artfully designed to reflect the character and history of the Myers Park neighborhood, the exterior of the building is intentionally styled and scaled to blend with its surroundings, not detract from it.
