We started by replacing the existing black tinted glass and concrete facades with high-performance curtain wall glazing and metal panels to allow more light into the floorplates while controlling heat gain. We also incorporated new canopies to mark building entries and to create a sense of identity for future tenants.

Mingling new landscaping with existing features—such as the sculptures and courtyard water feature—we united the different buildings across the campus and created a calm and inviting ambiance in the outdoor spaces. We also updated grading and paths of travel.

We gutted the interiors of all four buildings, providing a blank slate for new tenants, and transformed the dark, large floorplates by inserting new skylights and atria to bring in natural light. Working with Sobrato, we developed select interior spaces to showcase the possibilities for potential tenants.
