Maximizing space in a tech company's LEED Platinum offices
A leading Washington-based technology company's 250,000-square-foot office renovation required innovative solutions to optimize space utilization across seven floors. We began with detailed planning using advanced scanning technologies, including pre-pour scan data, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and digital X-ray, which helped create accurate maps of existing conditions and informed our installation strategy. This data-driven approach was crucial in avoiding conflicts and meeting LEED Platinum requirements. A key challenge was the corridor ceilings, where competing systems threatened both aesthetics and functionality. By leveraging Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), we relocated electrical feeder runs to less congested areas, preserving headroom and accommodating acoustical tectum ceiling tiles. Our design-build approach integrated electrical, communications, and audio-visual systems, ensuring the technology infrastructure supported modern workplace needs while maintaining spatial efficiency.
