HCM Architects designed a new office building for the Cummins Power Generation campus to house their engineering staff. The team worked with open office standards set by the owner to create a large agile work space that allows employees to sit at any of the flexible work stations that are available. Using ratios of people to workstations, HCM was able to provide a comfortable number of small and large meeting rooms for group work or conference calls. The new building also includes Cummins branding throughout the space, helping to foster a feeling of community among the staff. Light floods through the space through large exterior glazing supported by a unique structural system that allows for the majority of these walls to be glass. A new open break room provides a fun space to eat lunch or have casual gatherings with coworkers without needing to travel to another building on campus.

Location: Maple Grove, MN

Client: Boston Scientific

Square Footage: 100,000 SF

Hagen, Christensen & McILwain Architects was responsible for the programming and design of a complete renovation to Building 1, Levels 2 & 3. This design captures the requirements of the Boston Scientific Global Design Standards, creating a more open office environment.

The existing 2nd and 3rd levels of Building 1 were very dark and compartmentalized. The Design Team utilized space standards, openness, glass, finishes, natural and LED lighting to create an excitement / energy that was lacking before. The design updates included the increase of Collaborative Space and Meeting Space, reducing the Cubicle footprint, and relocating them towards the exterior windows to share the natural light throughout the space.  All Private Offices are now towards the center of the Floor Plate to enhance the open office atmosphere, and are located in such a way to create ‘neighborhoods’ focused on the various Teams. There are also ‘give back’ spaces that include a more industrial feel, with a double sided gas fireplace, booth seating and games for Team Building.
