A 1970’s office was transformed into modern workspace affording the company to double their staff of 750 people. There is a new full-service cafeteria, game room, contemporary workspaces, multiple break and meeting rooms, a Data Center, an Innovation Lab and a two-story slide.
Why was this particular job your favorite/most unusual? The original space was dark and claustrophobic. Removing portions of the second floor for an amphitheater created a welcoming collaborative work environment. Many sustainable design features were utilized including removing the perimeter offices providing natural light into the core and a new open-plan layout requires less energy for heating and cooling. Twelve new windows; a skylight; LED lighting; recycled carpeting; repurposed furniture; reflective ceilings and low flow plumbing were also incorporated.
