Alpha Construction Company, inc., is currently building North Canton's newest' proiesSional office building located on S. Main St. The building, four octagons joined by a common foyer, was designed by North Canton architect Kenneth Dansizen, who is also one of 'the partners in the venture. Ronald Braucher, secretary-treasurer of Alpha Construction, stated that' this type of structure is also energy, ef- ficent in that there are no doors leading tu She outside from any of the individual offices. The only doors leading outside are the liwo from the centraily-looaited foyer. The foyer acts as a buffer, trapping cold air from outside, allowing the individual offices to remain warmer. The windows, including six sky lights, provide for the maximum use of natural sunlight, but are of the highest insulating value available. Three of the four octagonal pods have two floors each and the other is a single st'ory. The firm of Dansizen and Mar- tin will occupy the second st'ory of one of the pods while Dr. Richard Longhrake and Dr. Lewis Snyder, dentists, who have maintained practices here for many years, and who are also part-owners of the building, will occupy the large single-stfory pod. Other tenants include an accounting firm, an insurance company and two other dentists. Dansizen says space is still available. The half-nullion-dollar professional building is expected to be completed by March, 1980, although Drs. Long- brake and Snyder will be moving in January 2, 1980.
