Samsung Electronics Public Affairs Division HQ

Washington, D.C.

CMTA provided full MEP, network cabling, and audio/visual design solutions for the Samsung Electronics Public Affairs division HQ fit-out. The office is a center of innovation providing opportunities to engage, support and educate government customers, policymakers and technology leaders.

Virtual reality was leveraged to support the co-design of the space with the client and act as a change-management tool for Samsung staff. This interactive office serves as a new location for the tech giant’s product marketing and patents groups, as well as a hoteling space for its clients.

The design intent is to provide an immersive experience the minute a visitor steps off the elevator. This result is achieved through a 300 SF seamlessly connected Samsung direct view LED display covering the elevator lobby ceiling. Back painted glass walls also conceal AV displays and elevator controls. With the ability to display imagery and play unique video content, the highly reflective space allows for a true sensory experience.

McCormick Spice, the global leader in spices and flavorings, contracted our team to help plan and execute a new 380,000 SF headquarters to consolidate over 1,000 staff members spread between four buildings into a single facility. McCormick’s goal for the project was to improve collaboration and communication across its departments and create a facility that represented the brand principles of sustainability, purity, innovation, and passion for flavor.

The building is designed to operate at 38 EUI. Solar domestic water heating and rough-ins for a future 915 KW solar photovoltaic parking canopy system will offset over 25% of the predicted annual energy use for the building. Our Consulting and Commissioning teams made the owner’s goals a reality.

In addition, CMTA provided MEP design services for McCormick’s Northeast distribution center, which will be the company’s largest distribution hub in the world. The massive 1,800,000 SF facility broke ground in 2020, and will allow the company to consolidate multiple warehouses and distribution facilities around the Baltimore region.
