HOK traces its roots back to 1949, when Co-Founder George Hellmuth joined two partners to form the architectural firm Hellmuth, Yamasaki and Leinweber. When that partnership dissolved in 1955, Mr. Hellmuth recruited two of his star employees—design deputy Gyo Obata and production deputy George Kassabaum – to lead a new fledgling practice based in St. Louis, Missouri, and bearing the names of the three gentlemen. Advocating diversity in terms of building types, services and locations, their vision positioned HOK remarkably well to adapt to the changing global landscape which has grown to become the world’s highest ranked International design firm by Engineering News Record Magazine in 2016.

We believed in sustainability before it became fashionable. In the early 1990s, HOK was already designing with sustainable practices and published The Guidebook to Sustainable Design (John Wiley & Sons). HOK has certified 300+ projects under LEED, WELL, EDGE, Estidama, QSAS (now GSAS), BREEAM, Green Mark and Green Globes, and have hundreds of additional projects pursuing certification under these standards as well as the Malaysian Green Building Index and China Green Star programs. Certification is not the end result; we view these standards as tools to promote integrated design and to validate performance.
We have designed a wealth of solutions that improve building performance while limiting resource consumption, helping our clients across the globe to recognize that projects can be delivered without compromising aesthetic goals, program requirements, building performance or budget constraints.
HOK designs healthy places. In each project we look for ways to incorporate the restorative effects of nature. Our approach emphasizes accessible and lush outdoor spaces for work and play. We also create healthy interior environments that prioritize the biophilic principles of daylight, natural ventilation, nontoxic materials and indoor greenery. We were an early adopter of the International WELL Building Institute’s WELL Building Standard, a performance-based system for measuring, certifying and monitoring building features that can improve health and well-being. Regardless of whether a project is seeking certification, we look for every opportunity to apply WELL-inspired design concepts related to air, water, nourishment, light, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials, community and mind. The people who occupy these healthy spaces can amplify the impact by carrying their positive feelings and behaviors back into their communities.

◯DESIGN
Our approach to buildingSMART adds value across all phases of design, construction and occupancy.
buildingSMART is an approach to design that leverages 3D modeling, concurrent analysis and integrated project delivery practices. Building information modeling (BIM) is at the heart of HOK’s buildingSMART program. BIM enables project teams to collaborate on virtual models, test ideas, optimize building performance and coordinate work before beginning procurement or construction.

4220 DUNCAN
"We aren't just developing space. We're building an entrepreneurial community where innovation thrives."
The design for @4240 Duncan enabled the adaptive reuse of a 183,000 SF, 1948 telephone handset factory as a LEED Platinum workplace for 500 high-tech jobs. This project was HOK’s first with Wexford Science & Technology. Large floor plates and highly adaptable mechanical systems enable @4240 to support tenants ranging from individuals needing a hot desk to small startups and established research organizations.
For this 182,000 SF project, HOK was challenged to design a building that would serve as a hub for workers and visitors to Cortex. The multi-tenant building provides highly flexible space for entrepreneurs, researchers and tech-sector employees to work, collaborate and unwind in one location.
4210 DUNCAN
HOK designed 4210 Duncan as a new, 320,000 SF mixed-use development in the Cortex Innovation Community. The unique design of this facility is the largest to date in the district with nine levels of mixed use office, lab and restaurant/retail.
This new home to BioSTL is a renovation of the 1930 Crescent Building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places; creating 90,000 SF of office, lab and modular spaces for biotech startups.
HOK’s first commission at Cortex was the design of a 165,000 SF flagship, multitenant building that also happened to be the nation’s first coworking wet lab model. Planned for flexibility, the building's infrastructure can support a mix of wet and dry lab, office and commercial space In 2014, HOK also completed fit out for an accelerator lab for original location of Biogenerator, Square and other tenants.

designed to maximize usable floor area while minimizing core element footprints along with highly adaptable mechanical systems enable the building to support tenants ranging from small startups to established research organizations. The building’s economy was partially driven by a “half-tilt-up concrete / half steel frame” construction which yielded a 9-month construction schedule as well as a low $145/sf construction cost.

One Discovery Square is a one-of-a-kind biomedical sciences building and catalyst for a planned research, education, and product development district in downtown Rochester. It’s the first of several new buildings that will make up the 16-block, $5.6-billion Destination Medical Center (DMC) Discovery Square subdistrict near the famed Mayo Clinic campus. The HOK-led design team sought to create an extension of Mayo Clinic’s highly collaborative culture in a four-story building that includes offices, wet and dry labs, classrooms and tech-based space.
As the anchor tenant of the building spread across three floors, the Mayo Clinic’s goal was to create a state-of-the-art facility that encourages opportunities for collaboration between bioscience researchers and experts. The complementary mix of tenants includes medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific, medical software company Epic, Motion Medical and students from the University of Minnesota Rochester. HOK also worked on studies for Agilent, Exact Sciences and Philips Imaging for tenant spaces in the building.

The project is pursuing LEED Silver certification. Sustainable design strategies include orienting the building to maximize daylight and views of the natural landscape (restored by the design to a native Michigan prairie) while controlling solar heat gain. Operable windows provide natural ventilation.
The design showcases the past, present and future of Stryker Instruments. Reflective materials incorporated throughout the building mirror their stainless-steel products. Curved edges throughout the building echo the shape of Stryker’s first product: the revolutionary Circ-O-Lectric bed. The building includes an experience center with a timeline wall and product displays that immerse visitors in the company’s history, culture and vision. A hospitality space in the experience center leads into a functioning operating room, customizable to each customer, where doctors and nurses can experiment with products.
The facility houses technical, sales and marketing staff who previously worked in separate buildings. Stryker wanted to bring these roles under the same roof to create a sense of community and encourage synergies that would improve their ability to develop innovative products that solve their customers’ health needs. The contemporary, amenity-rich facility also helps Stryker attract and retain the best people to live and work in Southwest Michigan’s growing life sciences corridor.
