One of the key drivers of this project was to create an open office space, much different from what currently existed on campus. To achieve this goal, minimal closed offices were constructed to maximize floor efficiency, access to natural light, and collaboration.
To support different workstyles, a variety of multi-use spaces were created, including telepresence rooms, “train cars,” and an outdoor roof deck. Transparency from office to lab, and spreading the lab out across multiple floors instead of just one floor, allowed for a connectedness to the company’s core mission.
