Expansive windows allow high levels of daylight throughout the space, yet are oriented or screened to avoid heat gain or glare.

Interconnecting stairs create a sense of accessibility and community between different departments.

Exposed heavy timber framing and wood ceilings and paneling create a calm, natural setting to facilitate easy workflow.

The exposed glu-lam timber post that balance between appearance, flexibility of floor-plate use, and simplicity of construction systems. The wood louver system at the south curtain wall provides occupant comfort from solar infiltration and allowed for significant reduction in the size and cost of the VRF heating & cooling system.

In order to create a sense of fluidity while providing opportunities for connection, interior partitions were designed to be modular and movable.
