Project Description
Woodward, Inc. envisioned a new office and production campus that would attract top talent, facilitate employee engagement, and embrace manufacturing best practices. Ghafari developed a master plan for the 70-acre campus and developed the Phase I facility.
The site plan accommodates future expansion, and presents a public image consistent with Woodward’s sophisticated technological processes. The facility’s single-story production zone is “L”-shaped with an east-west oriented long dimension. The office area is also “L”-shaped, its shorter dimension a continuation of the production area’s east-west line, and longer dimension set above the production area with a north-south orientation. The office and manufacturing components interlock, connecting managerial, R+D, and production staffs. The stem of the office “L” serves as the “main street” of the complex. Entry components and the cafeteria are set away from the larger building mass to create finer grain elements.
Working closely with Woodward, we delivered a world-class workplace where team members can thrive and innovation can soar.
