| Gensler's new office in Rockefeller Center fosters innovation Gensler has applied its expertise in workplace design to its own new office in Rockefeller Center. The firm has relocated its Midtown operations from One Rockefeller Plaza to 1230 Avenue of the Americas. The new office is designed to encourage and support the creativity and innovation of Gensler's staff. The office layout places a significant emphasis on collaborative spaces—including large open team areas and soft-seating areas around a circulating stair—creating a double-height central collaborative zone where designers can interact, share ideas, and discuss their work. The new office is a model for sustainable design. Gensler has selected many green products and materials for the new office, and was careful to follow sustainable procedures during construction. Gensler is currently preparing its submission to the U.S. Green Building Council for the new LEED certification for Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI). Gensler's Rockefeller Center office is located in 55, 650 square feet on the 15th and 16th Floors of 1230 Avenue of the Americas. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
