Design Vision The building’s inherent industrial quality is celebrated through minimal interventions, as new volumes play with the existing tight structural grid to create a sense of discovery. Thoughtfully executed building systems seamlessly mesh with the existing shell and showcase the infrastructure of the various networks that power the space. Construction Focus The Innovation Center is a strong example of quality and exceptional workmanship, from the corporate office spaces to the innovation-specific platforms. A challenging project to deliver due to complex, simultaneous efforts, it was imperative for HITT’s field superintendents to be mindful of aligning construction with the design intent.

Revitalizing a City While many San Francisco businesses are leaving or downsizing their presence as they struggle to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, our client is growing its presence. The owner recognizes the Bay Area’s stronghold in serving as the center for technology and innovation, and this Innovation Center exemplifies a commitment to foster talent locally, inspire greater interaction in the city, and stimulate the economy by getting more visitors in to utilize the new space. Inspiration through Technology The physical space is designed to inspire—inspire ideation, inspire knowledge-sharing, inspire innovation, and so much more. The 5G network is fully integrated throughout the space, making the innovation center and office duo both functional and eye-catching. Trust, built. Trust, built. Trust, built. Trust, built. Trust, built. Our longstanding relationship with this client dates back to 2007. Since our first project together, we’ve grown to anticipate their needs and build the most innovative spaces for them. THE HITT EXPERIENCE Unique Challenges, Smart Solutions Ambitious projects require carefully constructed solutions Challenge Unique Coordination Challenges Solution In order to prevent any coordination snafus or schedule delays, a detailed floor plan markup thoughtfully split work into zones; each work zone was then assigned a designated field superintendent. Challenge An airtight schedule was created to minimize impacts to our client’s ability to conduct business. Solution It is in our core values: We work tirelessly to deliver a project that everyone involved can be proud of. On this project, we extended working hours and days to ensure the space would be ready for use as soon as possible. Challenge The space was originally built to structurally support a data center with 60 large columns placed every 20 feet. Solution Alongside the designers, we built walls and special features designed to disguise the columns and seamlessly work them into the space. Aesthetics and Quality in Design This space features innovative and modern details that enhance the employee and visitor experience. An open area for virtual reality where spectators can also see what's behind the goggles. Space for open collaboration that also has private cubbies for heads down work. A stunning coffee bar to caffeinate before a day of innovation. A beautiful conference room with views of the city and plenty of space for brainstorming.
