Farmers Completes Move Into New Oklahoma City Facility

Employees of Farmers Insurance have relocated to their new 175,000 foot facility near Memorial and Rockwell roads in Oklahoma City. The new, technically advanced facility is environmentally-friendly and designed to LEED specifications. It is home to the company’s HelpPoint Contact Center, Claims, Imaging, and Data Center Operations.

The new facility includes numerous employee amenities including a gym, basketball court, putting green, company store, onsite credit union, locker facilities, along with indoor and outdoor walking trails.

During construction, the company sought out local suppliers and vendors, including a special effort to include artwork from Oklahoma artists throughout the facility. Conforming to LEED specifications, the facility maximizes the use of natural lighting and utilizes products made from recycled materials and reclaimed wood products. The parking lot has bio swales designed to capture rainwater before it is released into storm drains, and the landscaping was carefully selected to not require irrigation.

Property taxes for the new company-owned facility are expected to be $540,000 per year. With more than 1,400 employees, Farmers is one of the largest private employers in Oklahoma City.
