Holistic design for health and efficiency
Every design decision was guided by an integrative approach. Cross-disciplinary workshops led to strategies that optimized HVAC systems, lighting and controls to reduce energy demand while maintaining high performance. The campus is a demonstration of whole-system thinking, balancing energy efficiency with occupant health. Touchless technologies, antimicrobial materials and layered HVAC responses create a safe and adaptable environment.
Promoting movement and wellness by design
Beyond technical performance, the design emphasizes active wellness. Open stair loops, flexible workspaces and fitness-friendly features encourage daily movement and interaction. The campus operates as more than just a workplace—it’s a living system that fosters purpose, adaptability and innovation.
THREE KEY FEATURES
- Net-zero energy performance
- Integrative, human-centered design strategies
- Active campus promoting wellness and mobility
