JPMorgan Chase has inaugurated a state-of-the-art, eco-friendly office in Glasgow, specifically designed to accommodate a large team of technology professionals.
Spanning 270,000 square feet and rising 14 stories, this new facility will serve as a base for JPMorgan’s technology workforce in the city, which currently employs 2,600 individuals. Glasgow has been home to one of the firm’s technology centers for the past 25 years.
Construction of the site took five years and involved 3,900 workers. It has been awarded a ‘Gold’ rating under the WELL Building Standard, reflecting its commitment to enhancing various aspects of the work environment, including lighting, water quality, air purity, and noise management.
