Want to see how a renovated space in a 1950’s-era bus station can transport a venture capital company that backs innovative technology start-ups, including life sciences companies engaged in Covid-19 research, into the future?
If so then join the Hartford City Center on our second Project Tour of Amenta Emma's AIA award winning project at Connecticut Innovations in New Haven, Connecticut. This 9,000-square-foot headquarters for Connecticut Innovations encompasses offices, meeting rooms, collaborative areas and open work areas. Exposed structure, HVAC, brickwork, metal panel ornamentation, and concrete floor staining are contextual with original architecture and provide an edgy industrial aesthetic.
Designers maximized existing features, which included high ceilings, skylights in their original positions, and a long south glazed wall, bathing the interior in light. Use of glass throughout the headquarters and along a central corridor, or “main street,” defines program spaces and allows glimpses of activity. Small offices along the perimeter of the interior maintain an open environment, while allowing private work spaces. Creation of glass and roofed “boxes” within the larger envelope also contribute to the open, light-filled environment, giving employees additional collaborative and huddle spaces that allow for distancing and easy cleaning.
Join us on October 17th at 8am for coffee and networking and stay for a tour of this wonderful space!
