ON THE BOARDS

SPACES TO IMPROVE THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE

Focus on occupant wellness in the form of health, safety, comfort and satisfaction through amenities

This symbiotic, scientific workplace designed for innovation features a cohesive interior palette with colors and graphics extracted from imagery that represents AstraZeneca’s global ecosystem and Bay Area biome.

Central gathering spaces in the center of each floor serve as employee hubs. Amenities throughout the building promote social interaction, and a central stairway encourages connectivity across departments. A lower-level multipurpose conference and lounge area accommodates shared activities across businesses. Adjustable desks with ergonomic chairs, treadmillequipped team rooms, an on-campus gym and on-site pantries with organic food options support the health and wellness of AstraZeneca’s people.

The space reinforces AstraZeneca’s commitment to becoming energy-, carbon- and water-neutral by 2025. Sustainable design strategies, which earned the project LEED-CI Platinum certification, include low-emitting materials, optimized lighting and controls, energy-efficient appliances and a high-efficiency HVAC system.
