A change management drawing set that we produced in summer of 2012 completely re-envisioned the design to eliminate the use of enclosed office space and move to the shared and collaborative open office environment. The change management and visioning process also was orchestrated to allow employees to be actively engaged in planning the design details for the new work environment. The final result responds directly to the collective employee wish list.

Sections of each floor also have raised floors and ceiling “clouds” with light fixtures that can be lowered, enabling Biogen Idec to quickly assemble “pop-up rooms” for teams to work on short- or medium-term projects. This office environment was meant to be built with adaptability in mind. If the existing spaces constructed are not surfing the needs of the project teams, the teams should be able to adapt the space to their needs with relatively simple ease.

The building architecture is considered a blueprint not only for Building 1, the corporate headquarters, but also for eventual renovations at existing Biogen Idec sites. The open layout hopes to allow accelerated innovation by the haphazard, informal meetings of people by virtue of proximity and approachability.
