To accommodate the world class leadership training and organizational development provider, this design proposition reconceives a former indoor athletic space into a new corporate headquarters and staff education center. Aspirational concepts of success, self-reflection and transparency, indicative of the program’s pedagogy is echoed in the spatial organization and material application of the architecture. Pods of discrete enclosed formal training spaces define less structured informal areas between them, encouraging unstructured collaboration and open discourse. The programmatic organization is influenced by university campus design with components centrally anchored by an open auditorium and event space.
