The Press: Research and Development Building

As part of The Press Adaptive Re-Use campus project, the tenant, required additional space for fabrication, research and office.

Physically separated from the cluster of main buildings, the R&D building establishes a connection in the landscape, its main entry an extension of a welcome pavilion and the planted promenade.

Along the north side of the building, a wide landscaped strip and pedestrian path act as the primary connection, alternating between trees, low planting, enclosed patios, and informal seating.

The interior is split into two sections, a full height R&D section and a three-story area with additional R&D spaces at level one & two, and office space on level three.
