ULI Global Office Headquarters
The new headquarters space for the Urban Land Institute (ULI) in Washington, D.C., is an innovative example of office space planning driven by a desire to create a more collaborative culture for the organization. The newly occupied space, encompassing 33,481 square feet on two floors in a recently renovated building, brings together in one location the ULI global headquarters staff, the ULI Americas staff, and the local ULI Washington staff. The open-space office plan is designed to encourage interaction, communication, and collaboration, and includes a variety of work settings, including individual workstations, small workrooms, lounge areas with comfortable seating, numerous meeting rooms of various sizes, telephone rooms, two large café and kitchen areas, a member area, and a large multipurpose/conference space. Staff members are free to choose whichever work setting best suits their needs; few workstations are assigned.
