Farm Bureau Insurance prioritized innovation and investment in their people and the Lansing community by renovating their 171,000 square foot office space to better support the staff within. Their organization has occupied their current building since the 1970’s, and today the renovation has transformed the space to bring in ample natural light, fully-ergonomic workstations, and dynamic and inspiring design details. Today, the vibrant, intuitive, and thoughtfully designed space supports employees however they want to work—in the office every day, or every once and a while. 

“Our leadership engaged employees from the very beginning to determine the true needs and desires. This was much more than a building facelift — it was driven by the thoughts, ideas, and feedback of Farm Bureau employees.” - Domik Feldpausch, Facilities Manager

Stantec's design for Twitter's offices in Boulder, Colorado is a thoughtful reflection of the area's railroad heritage. The design concept draws inspiration from the nearby railroad tracks, and this theme is intricately woven throughout the space. 

Each floor in the office has its own unique theme, balancing unique design styles and workstyles to support the employees within. The first floor, or “the Receiving Yard” is perfect for social interactions, collaboration, and meetings, creating a warm and inviting space for informal connection. The second and third floors, or “The Classification Yards” were designed for a variety of work styles, using color zoning to define different work areas and promote flexibility. Finally, the fourth floor, or “The Depot,” is a space more for well-being and relaxation, offering spaces for small touchdown conversations, inspiration, and focused productivity. 

The design overall encourages a flexible and dynamic approach to workplace culture. Stantec's design successfully captures the essence of the railroad history in Boulder while creating a dynamic and engaging workspace that reflects Twitter's distinctive approach to office design.
