Stern Architects, GlaxoSmithKline&#8217;s new headquarters at the Philadelphia Navy Yard employs light and open space to create an inviting, collaborative environment. Photo by Francis Dzikowski<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The headquarters has any number of distinctive aspects\u2014a signature design by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, LEED Platinum rating\u2014all of which contribute to the mix.<\/p>\n<p>To begin with, GlaxoSmithKline\u2019s headquarters reflects the principle that a company can occupy significantly smaller space with no loss of productivity. Before moving to its new location, the pharmaceutical giant was spread out in 800,000 square feet at two locations in Center City, Philadelphia\u2019s central business district.<\/p>\n<p>In an effort to promote the collaborative, creative environment that the pharmaceutical giant demands, the Stern architectural firm designed the building without a single private office. The GlaxoSmithKline headquarters illustrates the trend of providing only about 100 square feet per employee, yet uses multiple tools to create an inviting workplace: invitingly large open spaces, common areas that promote collaboration and abundant natural light. The building has also earned the uncommon Platinum-level LEED certification. \u201cThey\u2019ve created an environment where people want to go to work,\u201d explained John Gattuso,\u00a0 senior vice president &amp; regional director of Liberty\u2019s national and urban development business.<\/p>\n<p>However, he acknowledges that the creation of a signature property is not necessarily for all situations. \u201cIt takes a client who takes the time to think about (these issues),&#8221; Gattuso noted. \u201cNot everyone is willing to start with a fresh sheet of paper.\u201d Nor are the benefits of today\u2019s new approaches to office space restricted to signature, build-to-suit projects. A well-thought-out tenant improvement program in an existing property can yield many of the same benefits, he added.<em>For details on what tenants are looking for, according to some recent surveys, be sure to read &#8220;What Tenants Want&#8221; in the September 2013 issue of CPE.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the office development pipeline picks up steam, some recently completed projects exemplify what tenants will be looking for in the next generation of offices. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":445,"featured_media":1004082277,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37301],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004082221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
