Blue Cross Blue Shield

Beam delivered a 226,000-square-foot, three-story claims processing center for Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, designed and constructed as a build-to-suit facility. Spanning a long floor plan, the building includes multiple stairwells, elevators, and restroom cores to ensure functionality and accessibility across its footprint. A three-story precast parking deck was also constructed to support the daily needs of the workforce.

The project was completed under a Design-Build contract for PM&E systems and features a full-service cafeteria and kitchen, a raised access flooring system to support adaptable workstation and data configurations, and specialized foundation systems tailored to challenging soil conditions across different building wings. This complex project demonstrates Beam’s ability to deliver large-scale, purpose-built facilities with long-term flexibility and performance in mind.
