Designing Our Dallas Studio
Perkins&Will chose the Dallas High School as the site for the relocation of the Dallas practice for many reasons, but most significantly as a desire to become enriched in the downtown Dallas community.
Our goal was to keep history alive while incorporating our brand into a modern workplace. We adapted the auditorium space to serve as the reception and lobby area and modified an old classroom to serve as a multipurpose room for daily collaboration space, continuing education lectures, and large events. The work space is designed to promote the practice of high-performance architecture and design with a variety of seating types and collaboration areas. The addition of an open connecting stair and multi-functional conference space, doubling as an after hours fitness studio, will further reinforce active design principles.

Choosing a historic building planned for adaptive reuse will allow Perkins&Will to achieve high levels of various certification programs such as LEED CI, WELL Building Standard, and Fitwel, which reinforce our core values of sustainability, health, and wellness.
