Buildings 16 and 17 leverage Microsoft’s robust standards and kit-of-parts for their corporate workplace environments while incorporating additional program elements to promote health + wellness and collaboration across occupant teams.

The design provides users with a mix of formal and informal spaces to gather. Interwoven among these spaces are areas for quiet concentration and wow factors to inspire creativity. Final design to turnover for each office build-out averaged 26 weeks with significant structural modifications to the common areas to enhance user experience and occupant productivity.
