Installed on the second floor 'social hub' a place where employees can informally connect and collaborate outside of the standard office space. The LA2 Connected configurations were strategically installed to light, way-find, and create brand cohesion.

A highlight of LA2 Connected is its sustainability, with a LBC Red List Approved Declare label, LA2 are ready to be spec'd for Living Building Challenge, LEED V4.1, and all projects where material disclosure, optimization, and performance matter.

Employee Centric Space

The overall renovation goal was to create a centralized and shared employee floor that had space for activities and amenities, not just office space.

The floor included a Tech Table for IT support, Fresh Market with Grab and Go, Café Spaces, Concierge Office, and lots of meeting spaces from open to private. The floor also incorporated an Active Area that had a Foosball Table and Walking Treadmill Stations, as well as a New Mother’s Suite.

Lighting + Color

Designers utilized LightArt's unique shade material, 3form's Varia, to create a gradient that subtly transitions throughout the floor.

The material color variations signified the type of space from bright yellows and greens in the more active areas, moving into blues as you enter a quiet workspace or collaboration zones.
