Ramboll Princeton

Ramboll's Princeton facility was designed to be an extraordinary workplace geared toward the refinement of focus and illumination of brilliance. Occupants are energized when moving from space to space. Incubator pods serve as a place to gather, expand upon, and disseminate information as a group. Personal work areas act as a catalyst refining focus into brilliance. The juxtaposition of light and bold colors, rich textured mateirals, and engaging patterns enhance the experinece that connects the senses. Accent awll treatments, meandering carpet patterns, and translucency guide teams or individuals on a journey to the proper environment for encouraging success and applying brilliance. The layering of acoustics, color, transparency, and light encourage outside-the-box thinking, new dynamics aof perspectives and socialization. These spaces are engaging, provocative, and versatile, allowing individuals to find their sense of place and contribute. Flexibile modular, omni-directional layouts, combined with residential touches, integrated technology, and biophelia allow individuals to optimize personalization and reconfigurability to meet their changing needs. As spaces evolve, they remain organized and purposeful while catering to the comfort and focus of an engaged, playful staff. Inspired, workers will compete to join the Ramboll family and spawn a wave of excitement that encourages a return to the office with inclusive curiosity, shared discovery, and flourishing success. Through collaborative, activity-based strategies, individuals, teams, and departments will decide who will spark their innovation, where talents will illuminate, and how exponential growth can be activated through unique perspective.

With many new and cutting edge products implemented on the project, the learning curve was carefully scrutinized and controlled to prevent cost overages and change orders. The final close out, ultimately resulted in delivery of the space under budget. Lease negotiations, long lead time materials, and logistical anomalies forced a truncated and inefficient time line, but key milestones were met and the occupancy deadline achieved. The only potential negative was surpass-ingthe level of design achieved at the company headquarters, overseas.
