After a programming analysis of three identical two-story
buildings on the Microsoft campus, KDW performed interior
renovation and remodeling to two of the buildings,
encompassing 230,000 square feet. The goal was to create
state-of-the-art developer spaces, supported by
administrative offices, mail rooms, lounges, reception
areas, and conference spaces.
KDW began by creating Developer Standards for both
buildings, establishing a Corporate Cable room, removing
several small existing cafeterias, and completely replacing
the mechanical, electrical, structural and communications
systems. We then worked closely with the users and staff to
design a variety of sophisticated developer laboratories.
Interior improvements included new carpet, paint, wall
coverings, furniture, lighting, and artwork, as well as the
creation of space standards for small, medium, and large
conference rooms to better organize the core and lobbies of
both buildings. A separate 1,600 sf theater-style conference
room was designed in Building 9 to facilitate presentations
and training, featuring overhead projection and an AV-
equipped podium to accommodate 100 people for lectures, and
60 people for hands-on training.
