Arbor Research Corporate Headquarters

Hobbs+Black designed a new office headquarters for the research based company of Arbor Research in Ann Arbor Charter Township. The facility is 50,000 square feet with a possible expansion of 40,000 in the future. The site is 90,000 sf, so future infrastructure requirements are considered. Hobbs+Black completed extensive programming, including town hall meetings, interactive poster feedback with employees and online surveys. The new headquarters maximizes the views of the site and provides access to daylight for each employee. The floor plan gives employees opportunities to collaborate and have quiet individual work. This was accomplished through open collaboration areas, an auditorium, a large work café, closed conference rooms/collaboration areas, and phone rooms.
