The two four-story buildings are steel-framed structures with architectural pre-cast glass and metal building panel skin. They feature an innovative design offering curbside appeal while providing considerable interior workspace and natural light. The entries to each building are clearly marked with three “fins” projecting vertically, supporting canopies of steel and translucent panels that offer a distinct glowing appearance at night. The identical buildings are separated by a beautiful courtyard with water features, architectural lighting and vibrant landscape. Over 90 20’ Date Palms are positioned throughout accentuating the environment of the campus.
Unique and high-level finishes are used throughout. Granite floors from Italy, floating walls of Venetian plaster, intricate lighting, and custom-built security stations of stainless steel wire fabric are all featured in the lobby. Each floor is primarily open with modular workstations, offices and conference rooms. Building A holds the dining area which provides a fullservice counter equipped with heat lamps and warming ovens for catered meals to the campus.
In order to provide exceptional security to its employees and data, a state-of-the-art security system and electronic infrastructure are in place supported by an uninterruptible power supply.
Weitz provided extensive value engineering throughout this project and remarkably, completed it approximately $6 million below the highest estimated initial budget without compromising the architectural intent of the buildings.
