Resilient Design

With rapidly changing environmental conditions, today’s buildings must account for the climate change risks of tomorrow. Columbia University’s new tennis center is the future of resilient architecture, rethinking how a structure interacts with its surroundings. Fast Company highlights our design approach and innovative strategies that protect and adapt this waterfront building.

Market Update
Design that supports the human body, mind, and spirit.

Health is about so much more than physical fitness, dietary habits, or disease prevention. It’s about how a person functions at all levels—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. It’s about the brain’s and body’s response to the physical environment, and how that response influences a person’s quality of life. We’re focused on making people’s lives better—holistically—by designing places that promote well-being from the inside out.

Innolabs Raises the Bar

Located in Long Island City, InnoLabs is a life sciences facility that proves aging commercial buildings can be re-purposed for modern and highly technical functions, incorporating specialized systems and uses while blending new elements with old.

Perkins&Will worked with client King Street Properties to create a flexible lab space that supports the needs of both commercial life science start-ups and established institutional clients. The success of this strategy is apparent in the leasing success of the building, including the largest life science deal executed in 2022.

Workplace Design Spotlight
Designing for the Human Experience

The new workplace is human centric. It’s about creating a meaningful, experience-driven, resilient workplace… A place where people want to be. A dynamic and responsive environment engages the physical, emotional, intellectual, and aspirational needs of its users.

While the functional aspects of a workplace are ever important, amenities – service-oriented spaces that helps provide comfort, convenience and joy – are increasingly important to support employees dynamic needs throughout the day. From dining areas, fitness centers, and outdoor seating to on site day-care, wellness spaces, and more, amenities transform a workplace into a multi-faceted destination. At Perkins&Will, we recognize the importance of designing an ecosystem that provides employees with amenities that help them not only work their best, but also live their best.
