Our client’s vision led us to transform an underutilized parking lot on
their existing campus into a new LEED Platinum training facility. By
acquiring approvals for a parking reduction and a Conditional Use
Permit, the new facility was constructed on the existing campus,
avoiding the need to develop virgin land or the need to acquire an
additional off-site facility. The program of a hospitality-driven
university type center gave birth to optimal settings for learning: an
auditorium for training, pre-function space for dining and events,
indoor and outdoor break-out spaces, and a collaborative workplace for
the company’s media and training staff responsible for content
development.

Today’s need for ever-changing and flexible classroom and learning
environments was achieved through the use of steel moment-frame
construction and universal planning strategies. Fluidity of
collaboration is constantly coupled with transparent glass walls and
panoramic views for all.

The LEED platinum design became a transparent heart for the property
which engages the existing buildings and reveals the pulse of the campus
as visitors move through the glazed circulation spaces. We strove to
instill a new pride of place with a view toward the future, while
managing performance requirements and communicating to all visitors, our
client’s mission of absolute guest satisfaction.
