A major makeover
for a Silicon Valley
company focuses
on wellness, not
just hipness
Founded in 1982, the same year that Sun Microsystems, Adobe,
and Autodesk got started, the tech company Symantec is one of Silicon
Valley's stalwarts. Symantec is best known for its antivirus software,
but it is doing more than just defeating hackers. With its redesigned
office, the company is also helping to advance the conversation
on best practices in workplace interiors.
Intended to set the tone for its multiple global sites, the
renovation of Symantec's headquarters in Mountain View, California,
was led by local firm AP+I, which partnered with Little, a larger firm
with expertise in designing interiors for wellness. In the first phase
featured here, AP+I and Little reconceived three floors, totaling
127,000 square feet, or about 60 percent of the company's main
building. The second and final phase is currently under construction
and includes two additional floors. The revamped interior will be WELL
certified under the standard developed by Delos that encourages
health through the built environment. In addition, Symantec employees
now enjoy a contemporary cafe that reinvigorates the company's
presence in a traditional office park.
The office building was originally designed by HOK in 2002 for
Veritas Software, which merged with Symantec in 2005. The four-story
building, U-shaped in plan around a central green, has plenty of glazing.
But the previous dated layout with private offices and cloistered banks
of high cubes along narrow corridors was lit by fluorescent lights.
To effect a cultural shift and encourage collaboration, the design
team converted the maze of enclosures into an open-plan office.
They organized the floors into neighborhoods of 30 to 50 desks,
each supplemented by reconfigurable meeting rooms, created
with a modular wall system from Dirtt. A monolithic dropped ceiling
was replaced with high-performance acoustic tile above the work
areas and a wood-slat system elsewhere.
In addition to breaking down walls, the designers literally broke
through the floor, creating a double-height gathering hub in the center
