North Richland Hills, Texas/128,000 square feet
UICI, a Dallas-based insurance company, wanted to add space to their existing facility. BOKA Powell designed the 128,000 square foot office building to compliment the existing facility and create a corporate campus feel. The site now features landscaped courtyards, a sculpture garden and an outdoor dining area. The two buildings are connected by an air-conditioned link that allows pedestrian access while maintaining the facility’s high security requirement. The building contains a 10,000 square foot data center that is mission-critical for UICI’s worldwide operations and was designed for the possibility of a high-wind event. UICI has experienced explosive growth and their greatest need was flexibility in their capacity to reorganize. The design solution yielded access flooring throughout the building and deep, open-column spacing for workstations.
