	RPS is a leader in the small package delivery industry and has grown tremendously since their conception in 1985.  In 1994, The RPS Corporate Headquarters constructed a 325,000 - square-foot office complex in an effort to consolidate their operations.  The facility is located in Moon Township, Allegheny County. This project included a five-story 140,000 - square-foot addition to the existing complex to meet their continuing growth.  The addition includes office areas, a three-story atrium and expansion to the existing cafeteria.  The addition also created a new main entrance area for the facility. The floor structure consists of composite steel beams and girders with concrete slab on composite metal deck.  The roof construction is steel roof deck on steel beams and girders.  A large screen-wall was used at the roof level to conceal the large rooftop mechanical unit.  The foundations are concrete caissons with grade beams. The spandrel beams and columns support the six-inch pre-cast concrete façade panels.
