Plano, Texas/228,500 square feet
Spatial organization was the guiding principle to the design of Computer Associates’ Dallas office. The office consists of 130,000 s.f. of open plan space including dining room, training rooms and fitness center. An open ceiling plan was utilized to provide added height above the systems furnishings; this industrial look is carried throughout the space in detailing, furnishings and finishes including a custom designed cowskin laminate. A tightly organized block of core elements and accompanying circulation path establish continuity from floor to floor, set off by changes in color, finishes, and specific work environments.
