This new 167,000-sf. high-tech office and knowledge-based manufacturing facility provides space for the development and manufacture of innovative medical devices for the assessment of osteoporosis, metabolic bone diseases, and orthopedic surgery.

Facility components include research and development laboratories, corporate offices, product display areas, production facility, dealer training room, product testing area, warehouse and cafeteria. Its flexible building plan accommodates future expansion of the site, with minimal disruption to the natural surroundings and GE Lunar's operations.

Special thought was given to creating a pleasant work environment for every employee. Subtle earth tones, curved elements, and deeply recessed windows reflect the owner's aesthetic preferences, while reinforcing the elements of sustainable design that are infused throughout the building.

Every employee is given access to diffused, cool natural daylight. By placing open office areas along the exterior walls with windows, Strang maximized daylight and created a more egalitarian layout. A large, light-filled cafeteria with catering service and expansive views of the natural surroundings doubles as company-wide meeting space. The adjacent patio provides access to the outdoors.
