JLABS
San Francisco, CA
Johnson & Johnson Innovation’s first stand-alone site, JLABS @ San Francisco, features high-tech, modern scientific research space. The 30,000 sf incubator space includes chemistry, concept, and biology labs; office spaces; conference rooms; and shared common areas for up to 50 emerging companies. Thoughtful planning led to a flexible, open-air scheme which allows for easy growth and encourages collaboration amongst the resident entrepreneurs. The facility was voted as one of the Bay Area’s “coolest offices,” for design components like the sleek design includes glass walls, contemporary furniture and finishes, and spectacular Bay views.

Malvern, PA
The finished space is a consolidation of departmental groups into three existing buildings, which totals over 202,000 sf. Each of the buildings are three stories in height, and within easy walking distance from one another. The interior design incorporates Siemens workplace standards and brand guidelines into a modern, refreshed workspace. One of the new spaces is the main dining/cafeteria space, located in Building 40, and includes a full kitchen and servery. In order to meet facility demands, the dining area seats approximately 130 at tables, and can accommodate larger all-hands meetings of up to 230 in a lecture format. While designing these new efficient spaces, a key challenge of the project was incorporating existing workstations along with new private offices, conference rooms, lobby and cafeteria. Additionally, EwingCole created an extensive program database that allows the team to quickly perform test fits and block/stack options to accelerate decision-making.

Project H Workplace Renovation
Research Triangle Park, NC
Lenovo, the world’s number one personal computer company and information and storage technology innovator, sought a fast-track corporate office renovation of approximately 96,000 sf across 3 separate buildings on their US Headquarters campus. Simultaneous renovations of Buildings 6, 7, and 8 comprise Project H. Of note is the 39,000 sf upfit of Building 6. Originally built to provide laboratory and testing for products, the upfit converted the entire facility into an open and energetic work place for the inside sales division comprised of 400 mostly young millennials. It was especially important to Lenovo that the space support individual workstyles and collaborative nature of this workforce. The project team focused on creating a sustainable, innovative workplace that responds to the needs and well-being of the staff, and incorporated Lenovo’s branding to “Never Stand Still”, incorporating a higher ratio of collaborative and social spaces to work areas, and a more fun and residential feel to the overall space, including an eclectic mix of furniture styles and materials.

The 4,200 SF space includes the broadcast studio, greenroom, control room, make-up room, offices, reception and common areas. This proved to be a unique project as EwingCole worked hand in hand with the contractor and client to ensure schedule adherence because of the need to design and build the studio in less than three months. EwingCole’s specifications for materials often required selecting from readily available materials rather than waiting weeks for shipping specified materials.

The space includes a medical research library, conference center, reception space, specialized meeting rooms, administrative and departmental offices, and informal meeting spaces.
“The public areas of the interiors are given tactility and presence through highlighting a few materials, which are juxtaposed with sculptural episodes formed by drywall ceilings and partitions. More dramatically, vertical extension of the spaces provides for pleasant light-filled experiences. The jury applauds the designers’ successful efforts to provide an engaging yet quiet place that is appropriate for its function as a health care facility.”
