ASHA plans to dedicate its new $48 million, five-story, 133,870 square-foot building that is the new site of its national office. The structure is the workplace for more than 250 ASHA employees, with the entire fifth floor available for lease. ASHA has applied to have its new building certified by the U.S. Green Building Council.
