When it came time to redesign Princeton\u2019s 101 Carnegie Center<\/a> offices, Joshua Zinder Architecture + Design<\/a> (JZA+D) wanted to create an \u2018activated\u2019 social and professional environment to promote activity and interaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been very excited about repositioning 101 Carnegie Center,\u201d says Joshua Zinder, the firm\u2019s principal and founder. \u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity to showcase our approach to effective transformations of underperforming office properties. The redesign delivers a work setting that offers urban conveniences in a suburban location.\u201d<\/p>\n

Located on the US Route 1 corporate corridor in New Jersey (about 4.8 km [3 mi] from Princeton University<\/a>), the 227-ha (560-acre) Carnegie Center campus is renowned for its manicured lawns and sprawling green spaces. JZA+D, along with developer Boston Properties<\/a>, aimed to leverage the site\u2019s existing attributes to maximize the value of the building, providing urban amenities in a suburban space.<\/p>\n

101 Carnegie underwent phased renovations over two years, creating a functional space that supports workplace needs and preferences of future employees. Offering a late-night coffee kiosk and state-of-the-art fitness facilities, as well as ample parking and open-air caf\u00e9s, JZA+D effectively created a \u2018pocket of urbanity.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cMillennials and post-millennials will soon dominate the workforce,\u201d says Zinder. \u201cBoston Properties is mindful of tenants\u2019 need to appeal to those demographics to stay competitive. Younger people approach their work-lives differently than previous generations, and they also tend to favor the experience of living in an urban setting.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the amenities, JZA+D renovated the 11,148-m2<\/sup> (120,000-sf) building, creating a space that is both energizing and elegant. To reinvent Carnegie Center\u2019s four-story lobby atrium, designers emphasized the area\u2019s height, using vertical design elements and linear patterns, along with bright finishes and cherry wood accents. JZA+D lit the space using natural light, as well as custom-made ornamental pendants and linear light-emitting diodes (LEDs).<\/p>\n

Carnegie Center\u2019s lower-level caf\u00e9 and lounge, designed as a casual meeting area, features contemporary and comfortable furniture. The space includes options for coffee and dining during off-hours, accommodating flexible work schedules.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe repositioning of 101 Carnegie Center obviously doesn\u2019t move it out of its suburban office park location,\u201d says Zinder, \u201cbut it does significantly increase its appeal as a work setting, allowing tenants to better compete for prospective employees against companies located downtown.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
