Arup
Oakland, California
Inspired by the creative office spaces around Oakland's urban city center and Arup's core principles of creativity, flexibility, wellness and sustainability, Gensler transformed the blank slate at 1330 Broadway into an edgy, contemporary workspace with shared amenities, including a café, areas for socializing, multi-purpose conference rooms, and alternative work areas. With benching workstations, sit-stand desks, bar-height tables, and a break room along the perimeter, Gensler developed an open plan well-suited for a variety of work styles, such as focus and collaboration, for the company's growing construction and engineering teams in Oakland.
