Vanguard has officially opened its new Neptune building, an innovative office facility situated on the firm’s 87-acre Malvern West campus.

Comprising more than 225,000 square feet and adjacent to the Orion and Defence buildings, the Neptune building is four stories and will accommodate approximately 1,350 members of Vanguard’s Retail Investor Group.

“After nearly two years of construction, we’re pleased to welcome our crew to the Neptune building,” said Paul Begin, head of Corporate Real Estate and Facilities Management for Vanguard. “Designed to offer improved access to natural light and exterior views, the new office space provides crew with an exceptional environment that enables collaboration and enhances productivity.”

In alignment with sustainability best practices, Neptune features an energy-efficient LED lighting system, enhanced energy commissioning, and sections of green roof access. Vanguard’s shuttle service, which helps crew with their daily commute by providing passage from local public transportation and other Vanguard sites during both the morning and evening hours, will include a stop at the Neptune building. The shuttles include three compressed natural gas buses.

Four electric vehicle charging stations will also be available to crew members working in the Neptune building, in addition to those already installed across Vanguard’s Pennsylvania, Arizona, and North Carolina campuses. These stations resulted in a greenhouse gas reduction of more than 303,500 pounds in 2018.

A range of amenities, including a variety of collaborative working spaces, a spacious outdoor terrace, health and wellness facilities, and multiple dining options – including a La Colombe coffee bar and several self-checkout marketplaces with grab-and-go selections – will be available to crew.

“It’s a workplace designed to meet the way people are working today and in the future, as opposed to (an older building where) people have to figure out how to work differently,” said Begin. “This building really signals another evolution of Vanguard in terms of the way we’ll work and the types of spaces that we need to have to attract today and tomorrow’s talent.”
